Aha! THX! This stuff is great.
I'm attempting to build a debug tool in Squeak in an environment 
where we are working on an embedded application in C. Although I've 
been following the Squeak list for some time, this is more or less my 
first serious attempt at a useful application. I hope to show the 
power of Squeak.

In attempting to understand what's going on, I tried the following:
myTranscript _ TranscriptStream new.
myTranscript openAsMorphLabel: 'My Transcript'.
myTranscript openInWorld. "This gets a message not understood - openInWorld"

What's getting the openInWorld message in the working version? It 
seems it is no longer myTranscript.
Thx.
