Thanks Ross.  As a new Squeaker, although historically a reasonably proficient 
Smalltalker, I find it very frustrating.  Why are things harder than they seem 
to need to be?  And if they really do need to be that hard, they need a bit 
more documentation.  It would probably be different if we'd been along for the 
ride from the beginning, but ordinary mortals joining the Squeak community now 
face a huge learning curve.  And that seems to be against the spirit of 
Smalltalk, as far as I can see.  I never fought so hard with VisualWorks.
