Thanks John,
I think I've got everything. Judging from some of the updates I read, I assumed the vm 
and plug-ins were all part of the updates. I think I've got all the updates but didn't catch 
what number they went to. The servers are saying there is no more to give me.

How do you know what number was last downloaded ?

Another question: when updating I was disconnected from the phone line and lost the 
http connection. This caused Squeak to crash, I couldn't save what I had already 
downloaded. Do you know a way to halt in the middle of updating to save ?

Thanks!
Gary
