Hi David -
If you can find a bit of time to assemble a set of patches which will
make those examples work, I'd be happy to fold them into the system to
make sure these examples work out of the box.
Cheers,
- Andreas

turns out that my problem was that I was using an old 3.8 image
I learnt from the book how to file out and file in - as soon as I tested my
code in the 3.9 image it worked fine!
A friend sent me some other information from the bugs site pointing out a
bug in SimpleSwitchMorph in earlier versions:
http://bugs.squeak.org/print_bug_page.php?bug_id=3530
Summary: 0003530: SimpleSwitchMorph does not actually implement
switch functionality
In 2007, many people's introduction to Squeak may be with an image
derived from 3.8 (*). So I wonder if the book should not mention this
patch prominently at the start of the First Application chapter.
By the way, I probably learned a lot about Squeak by wrestling with
this for a while this weekend without access to internet or a 3.9
image :)
