<pre wrap="">Right. I now have a Workspace with the changelog all nicely marked up.
I need to turn that into something I can put in the ReleaseBuilder. I
thought I could just explore my way to the Text instance with my
stuff, and do something like (WriteStream on: String new)
nextChunkPutWithStyle: self). Which is fine, but I need to turn that
into something like TheWorldMainDockingBar >> #welcomeToSqueak43. What
am I missing?

I think Frank is asking for help about a question I couldn't answer.
It's weird, because I found some solution to this when I released
4.3. The question might be phrased: how do you file out an instance?<br>
<br>
Andreas did something, and it's baffling. If you go to
TheWorldMainDockingBar>>#welcomeToSqueak43<br>
you see the text of the docking bar menu selection
Help>>WelcomeWorkspaces>>WelcomeToSqueak4.3. But here's
the twist, it contains the styles at the bottom: <br>
<br>
'Morphic<br>
- SMxMorphicProject now able to host a SimpleMorphic World<br>
- when present a SMxMorphicProject is made available in the World
menu<br>
!<br>
]style[(24 75 10 48 9 34 18 152 4 69 14 667 8 120 1 1 7
131)FBitstreamVeraSans#20.0,,bu,,bu,,bu,,bu,,bu,,bu,,bu,,bu,!'
readStream nextChunkText<br>
<br>
<br>
This string fed to TheWorldMainDockingBar spits out a fully
formatted Workspace. <br>
<br>
TheWorldMainDockingBar instance<br>
showWelcomeText: #welcomeToSqueak43<br>
label: 'Welcome to Squeak 4.3'<br>
in: (200 @ 200 extent: 500 @ 300)<br>
<br>
By hand, Frank has crafted a Welcome workspace with the underlines,
bold, and fonts to his taste. Now he wants to know what to do to
produce a string that can be saved as a method.<br>
