[squeakland] squeakland Digest, Vol 99, Issue 11

[Christine Murakami]

Thanks for all the help. I believe I will have to try one of the more complicated solutions. Using just the player's counter and nested tests have proven to be inadequate for what my students want to do. I am certain to have more questions, but your ideas give me some things to try.

Many thanks everyone!

Christine
