I was just thinking about Squeak as a plugin, and recalled that the
last time I'd seen a Squeak plug in, it just assosiated the extension
.image with the Squeak VM.  I had a look at your progress here, and I'm
happy to see it doesn't just do that, but loads Smalltalk code- the
mechanism for doing that looks like it's better than a file-in.

Not being one familar with what are usually thought of to be Java's
weaknesses in an applet environment, perhaps we should do our best to
avoid these pitfalls.  I often hear security is a problem, and it's
good to see the signature work.  

In short- looks good!
