Hello

I downloaded
http://ftp.squeak.org/trunk/4.1rc4/win/
and I like the fact that 4.1 is nearing completion.

I have two things:


1) Welcome work spaces in 'Help' menu

I like that the welcome workspaces may be closed and then re-opened
through the 'Help' menu. This is in fact a very useful feature. After
downloading 4.1 I may read the text and then close all the welcome
screens and have a clear space to my own work. In case I need some
release information it is still there in the help menu.

According to
http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/2010-April/148499.html
I may change the text and save it.
Currently the menu in the workspace for doing this is disabled. Is
there a preference setting to enable the pop-up-menu?

The texts are strings stored in methods in TheWorldMainDockingBar /
category 'submenu - help'



2) Content of 'Welcome workspaces'
I as well note that the welcome screen are now geared towards new
users. They give less details what has been changed for 4.1



Thank you for all your work

Hannes
