1. In a Morphic project, click your middle button (the one that brings up
a menu like:
keep this menu up
------------------
previous project
jump to project
restore display
------------------
etc.
)
2. Choose 'open...'
3. Choose 'web browser' from the resulting menu.

The Squeak Team is putting out some nice tutorials to get newbies up and

Depends on your previous programming experience, I guess. However, I wouldn't
recommend it, since one already exists (yay!!)
Follow the steps for opening Scamper, but choose 'email reader' instead
of 'web browser' from the 'open...' menu.
