Hello, 

(Here are two newbie questions:) 

Question 1: HTTP connection 

Cannot start a web browser - HTTP connection fails.
I tried both a freshly downloaded Squeak 2.3 image from 
the UIUC Smalltalk archive, and a fresh image from 
STP (Stephen T. Pope) 's goodies, in the same archive. 

The browser brings the following message after timeout:  

error occured retrieving http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak.1: 
Server minnow.cc.gatech.edu is not responding

Could somebody please explain how to configure the necessary
TCP-IP settings in Squeak?  I could not find relevant places in 
the code at first glance.  I am running Squeak on a Mac from behind 
a firewall. Our connection is otherwise fast and stable and open
for email, web, ftp, news etc. 

Question 2: Morphic speed when scripting with Viewer.  

The morphic scripting environment is very inviting - except
for one thing that worries: When opening a Viewer, for example
on a Star instance, and trying out some script commands, 
the system invariably starts becoming sluggish to the point 
that the mouse cursor will take almost half a second to move. 
I am working on a 200 MHz 604 tower Mac-PPC with > 128 MB RAM. 
Is this the current state of things, or is there some trick
for improving performance? 

Thanks,
