How are you running Squeak?
If you're doing it from a web browser, which one?
What operating system?
What version of Squeak (you can hit Esc, choose "help", then "about this 
system")?
When you choose "Publish As" (how are you getting to this?), what folder do 
you choose (if the requestor comes up at all)? If you want to save it on 
disk, you should choose the "untrusted" folder, probably.

When there is a problem publishing and you still see the grid, try to open a 
menu (using the Esc key) or use the Navigator to go to the prior project.

If you can, there may well be a dialog box open in that project that says that 
something went wrong. You can choose to "save a log". This will write a 
SqueakDebug.log file in the current folder; you can send this to the list and 
we'll take a look at it.

When we publish, we actually make a copy of the project and jump into it so 
that we can publish the real project. It is the copy of the project (which 
gets named "zzTemp" in which the grid is displayed.
