The only sar I have is universes.sar and when dropping it into squeak
I got the options to unzip or to install it (and others). Tried in
3.7.

sar I thing is for squeak archive. Knowing that I opened a file list
on the sar and also got all the options.

Dunno about workspace. Except for FileList openMorphOn:EditString: or
something similar. But I guess that doesn't count :-).

Also I believe there is a SarInstaller or something similar. You might
want to browse for it.

As long as you don't mean in a "single step" World menu, Appearances,
system fonts ... is the way to go.

And don't forget to have a look at look enhancements on SM.

As far as I know, there isn't. One of the real good things about this
is that baby squeakers like me and adult squeakers which are a
majority here keep together. And to quote from a previous post to a
similar question: "newbie questions sometimes lead to new insights for
all" (original in much better style :-))
