Done, and you get to confirm it really works...

This was an interesting change, I was wanting to *someday* to 
understand aliases, now I understand them a *bit* too much...


PS You can alias the source file!!!!!! And you can have multiple 
images open via multiple 3.0 VM all pointing to the same aliased 
source file, but is it legit? But I'm sure you'll check these little 
details for me... Mind I do have 22 squeak source files on my hard 
drive so I think I'm going to get some space back...
