Oops! I must not have done this the way you had in mind because when I did the "save contents to a file" command from my Workspace window, I apparently only ended up with a file (default filename= "Workspace.text") with the following text in it:
SBEGame new openInWorld Since I did not save anything, I ended up losing my entire tutorial. I guess I should have verified that I had something of use in that file before I quit Squeak without saving. The good news is: the error is certainly gone now!
