Hi Eric!

Right.

Mmmm, my best bet on the persons to ask is Michael Rueger and/or Bert
Freudenberg, but both are on this list so I guess they will answer in
due time. :)

Regarding how to do it - well, I haven't actually used it myself but
AFAIK it is pretty straight forward. First you of course need the plugin
for your browser installed. Then the image can be whichever image you
like. The code in the image that performs the actual load is (I am
pretty sure) the code in:

	ProjectLauncher>>startUpAfterLogin

...well, it actually starts in:

	ProjectLauncher>>startUp

And the web page is AFAIK just "as it looks". Not sure why Squeakland
uses .jsp.
