I think Frank is asking for help about a question I couldn't answer. 
It's weird, because I found some solution to this when I released 4.3. 
The question might be phrased: how do you file out an instance?

Andreas did something, and it's baffling. If you go to 
TheWorldMainDockingBar>>#welcomeToSqueak43
you see the text of the docking bar menu selection 
Help>>WelcomeWorkspaces>>WelcomeToSqueak4.3. But here's the twist, it 
contains the styles at the bottom:

'Morphic
- SMxMorphicProject now able to host a SimpleMorphic World
- when present a SMxMorphicProject is made available in the World menu
!
]style[(24 75 10 48 9 34 18 152 4 69 14 667 8 120 1 1 7 
131)FBitstreamVeraSans#20.0,,bu,,bu,,bu,,bu,,bu,,bu,,bu,,bu,!' 
readStream nextChunkText


This string fed to TheWorldMainDockingBar spits out a fully formatted 
Workspace.

TheWorldMainDockingBar instance
         showWelcomeText: #welcomeToSqueak43
         label: 'Welcome to Squeak 4.3'
         in: (200 @ 200 extent: 500 @ 300)

By hand, Frank has crafted a Welcome workspace with the underlines, 
bold, and fonts to his taste. Now he wants to know what to do to produce 
a string that can be saved as a method.
