Dan,

yes, that is the point. Regarding the origin of the HTML I am sure it is 
coming from the guys who wrote the plugin (Impara or Viewpoints or both) but 
I no longer rememeber where I saved it from, probably email of someone else - 
from them you may get additional help or suggestions, but this should be one 
way... Hopefully one day the Squeak Plugin will have ubiquity of Flash 
Player :)
