Following the primary rule of Squeak bug reporting etiquette,

	He who complains that something is broken gets to fix it.

I'm offering the attached change set to provide help messages for the following recently added preferences:

        browserShowsPackagePane
        projectsSentToDisk
        scrollBarsNarrow
        scrollBarsOnRight
        scrollBarsWithoutMenuButton

Thanks to Dan Ingalls for encouraging me to document these and to Scott Wallace for leading the way.
