Right, MC Configurations was completely broken in 3.9 and has caused
many repetitious discussions about the subject...  :-(

I was able to install OSProcess into the Pharo image in each of the
following ways:

  1) installing directly from squeaksource
  2) downloading the .sar from SqueakMap, finding in a file-browser
and installing the sar.  THEN, fixing the problem in the
initialization code that occurs in the Pharo image.  Therefore, #1 is
an easier way to install, but I did get this to work.

I've made updates to all of the documentaiton pages to address all of
these concerns.

Thanks,
