Basically, the tutorial was written for an earlier version of Squeak, so
the old alignment stuff doesn't work properly now. It certainly used to,
so, strictly speaking, the tutorial isn't wrong.

Someone did post a fix for it, but I can't find it and it looks like it
may not have made it back to the tutorial.

I'll try and find it tomorrow or you might like to trawl through the
archived list at Yahoo.
