Ok, all in the soon to be 0.97. I'll clean out the crlfs, too.

This might seem a bit picky, but with the default Squeak preferences (alternativeWindowLook on, etc.), the scrollbar is so faint that it's difficult to see against its background.  Actually, on a laptop LCD screen (which tends to distinguish poorly between light colors), it's pretty much impossible to see the scrollbar against its background... a significant problem, IMHO.

Put a couple CRs in front of it, and change it to something like: "Would you like to view more detailed help on the SqueakMap swiki page?"
