Hmm, not exactly what I was thinking of, but I guess that works. That's not
something that's unique to Squeak, though, is it? Java applets would work the same
way, without a plugin.

You mean via SqueakMap? Or is there a way to provide a URL or something to a Squeak
project? I assume the security model thing is something that's being worked on in
regular Squeak, too, not just the plugin?
What would be really neat for me is to be able to run an app. that will always
update itself to the newest version -- ideally not in a Web browser.
Thanks!
