First, thanks to everyone who's replied to my recent numerous questions - Alan, Ned, etc. I feel like I'm putting myself through a crash course in Squeak - and loving it. In reference to one of Alan's replies, I was aware of Squeak's wonderful object oriented design, but just didn't appreciate it in practice. I'm starting to...
Q1: I've created a Book and would like to print it out (this is for a poster). I've tried the Book Menu -> copy & print -> postscript, but the end result is, well, weird. Text has extra spacing, graphics from one Page appear on another, arrows have their borders drawn, etc. Not surprising really, given my past experience with postscript generation. So, my question is - how do people print projects? I'll probably just use the Menu -> export -> PNG for each page and print that way. More laborious, but the result is nice.
Q2: replicating an object in a script. I've learned (from my student) of the 'sketch stamp' which does this - and I found it when doing a 'Search' on 'stamp' in the Viewer. Is the 'stamp' also in one of the viewer's categories (basic|scripts|etc.)? If so, I couldn't find it.
Thanks again, Randy p.s. I'm getting close to putting my project on a web page and will notify the list when I do. There's always "just one more thing I'd like to try..." :)

Hi, Randy,
Once you've found an item using "Search" in a Viewer, click on the menu icon next to it, and choose "show categories..." from the resulting menu; you'll then be presented with a list of all the categories in which the item occurs.
Following this procedure, in the case of "stamp", you'll find that it's in the "miscellaneous" category.
Cheers,
