[Squeakland] Some questions regarding 'supplies'

[Randy Heiland]

Awesome.  Drag & drop.  Can't get much simpler.  OK, I'm off & running with
Kedama now.  I've been reading Resnick's "Turtles, Termites, and Traffic
Jams" and have wondering how to do similar things in Squeak, so your posting
was very timely.  Thanks!
