Ah, well the version up there doesn't work with os-x.

However there is a version out there that should work for you. See 
below. Note I still somewhat am waiting for microsoft to pull the 
netscape api out of IE for the mac, so beware. I've not tried with IE 
5.2, but you can be the first victim

The 3.0.18 carbon VM sit file contains a carbonized plugin for 
Internet Explorer and instructions on how to install in OS-X. You can 
use that to replace the classic version that gets installed from 
squeakland.org

Squeak3.0.18-MacOS-VM.sit

The Squeak plugin HowTo for installing with IE 5.1 under OS-X

May 17th 2001. At the moment the focus for installing the plugin from 
squeakland.org is centered around OS 9.x or lower. This document 
describes how to install the carbon version on OS-X for IE 5.1. It 
currently will NOT work with other browsers like OmniWeb.
iCab or Opera have not been tested.

First you should install the OS-9 version of the plugin from 
squeakland.org. This will create the proper Squeak internet folder 
structure which you will need in a few minutes.

The NS-Squeak VM 3.0 Carbon plugin must go into your
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder.
This makes it available to all users of OS-X

You must move or copy the Squeak folder found in your System 9.x 
system folder preferences folder into ~/Library/Preferences folder. 
The ~ of course being the targeted user, this way each user has his 
own copy of the image file and associated files.

Launch IE5.1 and confirm the plugin works by visiting squeakland.org
