Thank you.  That gets me a step closer, now, the question still stands if I
can make the world background transparent?  I want to be able to see and/or
interact with things 'behind' the squeak environment, to turn off the
background and ScreenController, and just have what I want out there.  Is
that possible with squeak as it stands now?

If by this you mean to make the windowing system's titlebar, etc. disappear,
try this:

ScreenController new fullScreenOn

and to turn it off:

ScreenController new fullScreenOff

This is also available from the button that says "Escape Browser" in the
Navigator flap.
