That's sure how I'm feeling right now. It has been a while since
I've done much Smalltalk, and I've never done much Squeak,so there
are all these things that have to be dug up or revealed by some kind
soul.

I sometimes have wondered whether Smalltalk hasn't prospered more
because its users have to learn everything by word of [electronic]
mouth. But it's so rich and full, what else can one do?

If I ever learn anything again, I'll be writing articles about it.
Thanks to all for your help, continuing, I hope. :)
