Wow! I'm very impressed, the Squeak community responds
with fixes very quickly! Thanks for the change set.

By the way, what's intended usage differences between
Parameters and DictionaryOfPreferences? Since,
DictionaryOfPreferences class variable in the
Preferences class seems to be mostly occupied by
boolean like Preference instances I assume it's for
true/false style flags? 

What about the Parameters class variable? Is this
intended to be the spot to store
preferences/configuration info which require a bit
more detail than simply true or false? 

Take care,

Anthony
