[Squeakland] viewer behavior in a Book

[Scott Wallace]

Hi, Randy,

Sorry, no.  Flaps can only reside along the edges of the main Squeak window.

However, perhaps for your purposes you might want to try using an old 
variant of Viewers in which they don't live in flaps, but rather 
appear as simple objects that you can place anywhere on the screen. 
To get this behavior, turn off the "viewersInFlaps" option.

A word of caution:  no attention has been given to 
viewers-NOT-in-flaps in Squeak since we switched to using flaps for 
viewers, years ago, so it wouldn't be surprising if some things might 
be a bit broken.

But I just tried turning the viewersInFlaps preference off and opened 
some viewers and everything actually still seemed to work very well, 
so maybe it's worth giving that a try.

Cheers,

   -- Scott
