	I am asking this because I noted that when I tried to 
	"Recompile world..." from the Strongtalk Launcher File menu,
	I got this from the command prompt console:

	was unpacked and "Recompile world..." looked like this:

	Where does this sequence of filing in come from? I looked at various

	BTW, how can I copy the contents of "Error: This shouldn't happen"
	for reporting purpose later on (I am aware that these errors are due

	to the source synchronizing problem).

	It is much appreciated if you would elaborate.

	A good understanding of the infra structure would 
	take a Strongtalk learner a long way.
