Hi Chris, It's a template mechanism. The HTML files in ComSwiki are actually HTML + Smalltalk code. That Smalltalk code is executed in the image. That part of ComSwiki works the same as PWS (basically -- ComSwiki's implementation is more sophisticated, and Jeff Rick created a whole hierarchy of template files). That's described in the book "Squeak: Object-oriented design with multimedia applications." (It's nice to have a reason to recommend that book :-)

I think that the scripts in the actions folder are activated by buttons. I've never seen Smalltalk code in external files -- always in the image. I don't understand how the scripts are input into the image at the prompting of a button. I don't see how the script knows where to insert itself, how it contextualizes itself. I know from the Squeak man page that a file can be added to the command line and inserted: squeak -headless squeak.image helloworld.st& That's the only way I know to input a file with Smalltalk into an image. It would execute in the Workspace. I guess these action files, all 117 of them, are being executed on the Workspace also. But how are they being pulled into the image by a button/link?
