universal tiles

Hi,

I'm a relatively new Squeak user and I just stumbled across universal
tiles when playing with scripting in Squeak 3.0.  I have a couple of
questions/problems regarding them that I was hoping someone could address:

-Once universal tiles are applied to a world, how does one return to the
regular tiling system?

-Sometimes when working with a universal tile script, I can't go back and
forth between tiles and text (meaning the messageNodes), I get stuck in
the messageNodes.  I haven't found a pattern as to when I can switch and
when I'm stuck.

-I get errors running scripts in universal tiles which worked in the
regular etoys tiling system.  These are generally using tiles that I've
created using a tile scriptor, so while in etoys I can write a script that
says " 4 timesRepeat: self fire. " the universal tile version executes the
first loop then crashes when I write the same program in the workspace
then use the tile scriptor and drag the line into the scriptEditor.  I've
tried using both self and the object name, but it doesn't make a
difference.

Help on any or all of these issues?

Thanks!
