Chris,
Many, many thanks. I finally got it right and BBAllInOne now loads 
correctly. The working script reads
SMSqueakMap default loadUpdates.
     (Installer repository: 'http://www.squeaksource.com/DCI') install: 
'BBAllInOne-TRee.18' .

Is there a simpler way? Most SqueakMap packages do not have a script; 
they only have a "Download URL". AwesomAtom is one example. 
BabyIDE-1.2.9 is another. I made it 6 years ago. It still works. I 
cannot remember how I specified the URL at the time and cannot find any 
user interface to edit it. Has it been removed?

Again, many thanks for your help.
