It's a Squeak plugin versus a netscape plugin so it needs to go into the
System Folder:Preferences:Squeak:Plugins folder which may or may not 
exist in the machine.

You'll note this is NOT the same location as putting it into
System Folder:Preferences:Squeak:Internet: where the VM and image 
live. The reason for this is because there is mostly write access to 
System Folder: Preferences:Squeak:Internet: and one wouldn't want to 
make it easy to drop plugins there and run them using smalltalk 
script.

However I must say I've not look at this area for a year or so, so 
I'll let you test.

I wasn't aware that the MPEG3 plugin was internal on windows, maybe 
the dll loader code just hunts down the DLL and loads it (it is 
windows after all).
