[BUG] no source file and we hang

I just tried this with a fresh Squeak2.8-2348 image on Windows (2000) with the current May 23 VM.  It
seems to work just fine... I can hit OK when the message comes up and continue along.

I noticed a couple of problems with the message itself, though.  It says "Further explanation can
found in the startup window, 'How Squeak Finds Source Code'."  The word "be" seems to be missing here,
but also, I don't see any further explanation in either the Welcome To or Getting Started windows. 
Some cleanup is probably in order.
