I've gotten some good rules of thumb from the forum subsequent to
that comment. BTW, 'sandbox', while a very apt description, is
potentially condescending to some people. Squeak should think beyond
the 'kids' theme--but not too far. There actually are those who are
interested in it because it is a viable free smalltalk with which to
make readily available applications for in the commercial and/or
government world.
Besides 'TheVoid' may be more appropriate in my case ;-). It is a
good idea whatever you call it, though some may suggest making a
category is one of the first things one should learn. At any rate
your response has given me even more to think about from the
documentation angle yoo--I being swallowed by this forum. Have I
crossed the event horizon?
Best Regards,
Mike
