Hi!

I see the point, although I disagree. Personally, I annotate every learning 
material I get with my own notes, if possible. And new stuff I learn that is 
related I try to keep at the same place. I think this is interesting 
especially in Smalltalk where you are encouraged to explore the system. I 
would expect someone starting with a basic tutorial and then turning to 
explore the system and documenting the learning process in the help system 
itself, and even be able to share it with others. A pupil can quickly become a 
teacher, and quite often the one who has just learned something is the best 
person to explain it to other newcomers.

I see your point for complete newbies, though. So maybe enabling the authoring 
bar can be made a preference, and the last lesson in an introduction like 
Laurent's syntax tutorial can contain some code to switch on the bar.
