Sorry, I assumed it was the .st file you were having problems with.

Starting things off with "SampleImageViewerMorph new"  in a workspace is
really basic, but it is something that us new guys just don't get until
we've done a few examples.

That's been my experience too - once you understand the 'shape' of the solution you're trying to build, it's easier to use the browsers to find relevant code to learn from

I gather that the final class in the listing will
generally be the one that you start the program with--bottom-up programming,
as in Forth?

If I understand you right, then the answer's 'no'  - everything's listed alphabetically in the browser - it's just a co-incidence that this reflects the "level" of the classes in this case.

System browser, rt click on class category, then select printOut is another
command that isn't talked about much, and I guess you have to "just know"
that the .html output listing is not really HTML, but now I have a printed
listing with lots of comments, and a running program with buttons and
graphics.

Nice! Thanks!

No problem,
Michael
