It compiles and runs, but usually crashes shortly after entering
interpret(). Sometimes the display opens fully on the screen, and
several Squeak debuggers appear. From there, some things work and
some things don't.

There is a somewhat better explanation in the email messages that I
attached earlier. I'm attaching the screem shot that I mentioned earlier,
which shows a Squeak image that is running but not "working" ;)

Please let me know if you have better luck with it.

Dave
