> I take it folks are not digging the toggle in the projects menu.

I'm not, "not digging it."  I was just lamenting about the nice
flexibility of the Squeak IDE inherited from Morphs "prototype"
property that, I think, may not used a lot by developers.  I actually
haven't had time to look at the Inbox in a while, because I've been
deep into another Squeak issue lately.  I have no strong opinions
about menu items in the menu bar.

Regards,
  Chris
