Well, I am following the Book's tutorial, and I have a local workspace

in the book, so yes, there is an expected error at this point, but I
am expecting to see a "MessageNotUnderstood" error as the next step
has me doing something to practice using the debugger - I don't think
I'm supposed to be getting the syntax error I am getting.
Another clue on this syntax error is that I can also see the blue game
background displaying in what seems to be the correct location, and
then the checkerboard is displaying too, but it was offset by around
50 pixels on both the x and y coordinates. Chances are, whatever the
syntax error is involves the placement of the checkerboard.
At any rate, I guess I need to undo whatever I just did (loading the
remote repository from the URL) so I can get back to diagnosing this
issue and/or skipping this step and moving on to the next one. Any
idea how I can do this?
Thanks again,

OK, you've got everything in a Workspace. And there's a syntax error.
The first thing I would do is click the blue down arrow on the Workspace
and select "save contents to file...", which will put a file in your
image directory of the contents of the Workspace.
The next thing would be to quit without saving. Notice I said "without".
That will get rid off the code you just loaded from the Internet.
Then open your file of saved code, cut and paste it into a Workspace,
and resume looking for the syntax error.
HTH,
Chris
