Geez, thanks, Ned! Much appreciated!

The first two: painting and handles. For instance, on page 2, it says  
"These are the paint brushe sizes." Then there's a space for the expected  
icon. The icon actually appears over the beginning of the next sentence  
"Click on the paint brush". After the word "brush" is another space for  
the brush icon, which appears over the next phrase "to select".

Or so it is on my machines.

Initially, yes. On my subsequent attempts, no. However, it's not happening  
at Squeakland.

Cool.

I was trying to figure out where it would go, though.

New vocabulary items would do the trick, I think. I need to add "sine" and  
"cosine" to numeric assignments. The Lunar Lander project I have in mind  
requires the ship to be able to actually change its heading, but I can't  
just use the forward script, obviously, because the effects of gravity  
have to be considered.
