Aaahhhhh!!    My brain hurts.   This is totally COOL!   I am totally
blown away, yet again, by Squeak!  8-)   Thanks, Bert!

A few problems that I noticed (not being qualified to decide if they are
really problems of course)
When the image first starts, it asks me if I want to create a cache
file.  I say yes and it gives me a notifier:
fileInObjectAndCode MNU semt from SystemDictionary>>readDocumentFile.

Morphic is missing!  :-(  As is a lot of other stuff, but there are menu
items referencing them.  Has anyone thought about decouping the menu
items from the construction of the menu itself?  It seems that we could
several PoolDictionaries which would allow modules to add menuItems to
various system menus.
