Hi Bert,

At squeakland.org, what "image" am I looking at/for?
What "preferences" am I looking at and where?
Is the "world menu" in the Squeak plugin that I downloaded (via
NPSqueak.zip)? I couldn't find it but would love to find a help file.
I like the sound of what you describe, if I can only find it. :)
