Would this work as well?


   1. Pull out a Text object from the object flap.
   2. Type in "Preferences disable: #eToyFriendly"
   3. (On Windows) Hit the Ctrl-D key combination.
   4. Wait a second.
   5. Click on the world (desktop) to see the world menu with all the
   programming functions which it allows.

Cheers,
Darius
