So I tried it under Windows/NT.
I did a little better with the install than I had under Linux; it found and
installed the plugin somewhere (where I asked it to, I assume).
Then I tried the Weasel Essay. All I saw was a blank Squeak screen with a
project navigator at the bottom. No essay.
So I went down to the project navigator and hit "Find". This popped up a file
selector. I saw Squeakland, so I expanded that list. Then I clicked on
"games" to expand that list and got a nice red walkback
Error: Listing failed: <!DOCTYPE
etc. from HTTPClient (as I recall).
Enough of this.
So I tried Etoys_Simstories.
It said "There are updates available. Do you want to install them now?". I
selected "yes", then it said that it had installed 1 new update.
Then I got the project.
However, much of the text column was cut off on the right. Re-sizing it with
the Morphic halo seemed to fix this (reflowing the text), but you can't
expect people to do this with Squeakland content.
Then I tried the Weasel essay again and it worked.
