Re: [Win32][RFC]: Default settings for Ctrl vs. Alt

I also second Doug Way's recommendation, especially that long time users
of squeak should be able to switch back and create their own ini-file.

The port thing is a restriction tunable in the server configuration.  But,
anyway, on linux it should be possible to give it a CAPability to bind on
low ports..

I'm pretty much in the same situation. My go at it have been trying to 
make a HTMLTableMorph for Scamper so at least webpage rendering will 
look a tad better. 
Latest change set are here:

If anybody are interested in helping out in this effort let me know.

This would be cool. Lot's of interesting bit's of information are 
stored in this mailing list and a fast way to use this would be valueable.

Re: Weekend Project Update [was: log me in!]

Thanks Ian!

I gave things a quick test and the TeletypeWindow works jus fine with Zurgle
now.  The only gotcha is that Zurgle hides the SystemWindow menu so there's
no obvious way to get at it!  Still, it's easy to open shell by evaluating:
TeletypeWindow open owner newShell

Thanks very much!!

Currently about 40 MB per year.

He,s just being polite. He actually suppressed the urge to call it 
'tiny'

Not only the list archives, but all relevant sites as well. In fact,
you're beating me to it: I have been toying with the idea to set up a 
proof-of-concept 'topic-specific' search engine with a focus on Squeak, 
where the on-line archives, Squeak-specific websites, etcetera would all 
be collected.

What's the difference between an IR engine and a Internet search engine?

Re: Weekend Project Update [was: log me in!]

Whoops, one more small bug!

I notice that if you fire off a shell from the TeletypeWindow, and then
minimize the window, the connection to the shell gets broken (this is
using the 3.2.3 VM).

Mailing-list Archive + Newsgroups Backend

(for those who missed the thread)

Hello,

There is a solution to combine the advantage of mailing-list and
newsgroups : http://gmane.org/

We could acceed to squeak-dev by
news://news.gmane.org/gname.lang.squeak, this could be a newsgroup
backend to the mailing-list. Moreover, Gname was designed by Lars
Magne Ingebrigtsen under GPL, the guy who designed the wonderful
Emacs/gnus (!).

Here is a significant excerpt.

"GNU Mail To News And Back Again :

Much interesting discussion today takes place on mailing lists. This
is inconvenient. If you become interested in a subject, you want to
know what's being discussed, and you want to familiarize yourself with
the culture of the list. This means that you need to get an overview
of previous discussions.

Several mailing lists archives exist, but these are all hidden under a
web interface. Reading mail that way is not convenient. Reading mail
as if it were news is convenient.

This is what Gmane offers. Mailing lists are funnelled into news
groups. This isn't a new idea; several mail-to-news gateways
exist. What's new with Gmane is that no messages are ever expired from
