Hi Douglas, welcome back to the Smalltalk world!

Best way to start is to download pre-prepared Squeak-web image:

	http://damien.cassou.free.fr/squeak-dev.html

There you have everything already installed and ready to use, both 
Aida/Web and Seaside. Then you should go to both websites 
(http://www.aidaweb.si, http://www.seaside.st) and follow tutorials. 
Next step is to join mailing lists, come on the IRC to chat, etc. etc.

Ah yes, you need to download and install appropriate Squeak VM first:

	http://www.squeak.org/Download/

When you'll have both VM and image, go to image directory and start:

	squeak <image name>.image

I hope this will help for a start.

For more questions you can also join Squeak mailing lists:

	Beginers:
	http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/beginners
	Squeak Dev:
	http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/squeak-dev

I hope this helps

Best regards
Janko
