Ok, my jet-lagged wife decide not to go to Epcot, so I got to poke at  
the Squeak VM a bit.

So I've posted a 3.8.8b11 mac carbon which ensures a full screen  
window open happens in a faster, more friendly, more pleasing manner.

This can be found at
ftp.smalltalkconsulting.com
Squeak 3.8.8beta11.app.zip

I've also moved a copy of the sit files to my idisk
http://homepage.mac.com/johnmci/FileSharing.html
