Okay, thanks for that. For those who have not worked in a self-hosted 
environment like Squeak, I do suggest learning through some tutorials 
how to code in that environment. In particular, the self-hosted 
debugging and concurrency and such are all great features that you 
can't really get in native environments. This is significant for 
people trying to get a taste of a TUNES-like system.
