I would like to see workspaces that contain the messages creating the
demo projects. Something like Learn by Examples.

>From a procedure style development environment, the most challenge task
to me is to find out how a project or demo or objects were constructed.
Something like Yoshiki's MovingEyeMorph would be easy to follow:

>    left _ MovingEyeMorph new openInWorld.
>    right _ MovingEyeMorph new openInWorld.
>    origin _ 482 at 34.
>    left position: (origin + (77 at 74)).
>    right position: (origin + (129 at 76)).

Thanks,
Alex

Should there be some explanation in the "Welcome to..." window that says
how 
to try the various Doits? (as in: select and do an alt-d or command-d),
or 
should these have doit attributes so they can be clicked on directly?
(BTW, 
how does one make a Doit that has hidden code, as in the Toothpaste and
Web 
examples in Games?)

The descriptions of how to stop toothpaste and web in "Games" are wrong
for 
the Windows and Linux users; these will have to do a ctrl-click to stop,
not 
an alt-click.

Why not add a project with browsers, workspace, change browser, method 
finder, etc. as another "World of Squeak" called, perhaps, "Programming"
