To be honest, I'm not sure. :) As I mentioned, I'm fairly new to
Smalltalk, and I'm just diving in and fooling around. Loading a new
image file just seemed like an interesting thing to do. But I'm now
learning that this is probably a fairly meaningless operation.

Well, I think that ImageSegments are close to what I want ... or maybe
just change sets. I still need to learn more before I can know for
sure.
In my initial fooling around with Squeak, I made a change to the
"MPEGMoviePlayerMorph" class to cause the "Open" dialog box to pop up
viewing a directory of my choice, rather than the current
WorkingDirectory. I want to somehow save this change so that whenever I
start up Squeak, no matter what version I've installed or what image I'm
using, that I will get my changed version of that class.
I now understand better that loading a new image file into a running
Squeak session would NOT be the way to accomplish this.

I'll check out DVS.
I sincerely thank you for your help.
