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.
