The Inbox: Morphic-hjh.424.mcz

A new version of Morphic was added to project The Inbox:
http://source.squeak.org/inbox/Morphic-hjh.424.mcz

==================== Summary ====================

Name: Morphic-hjh.424
Author: hjh
Time: 21 April 2010, 6:49:30.084 pm
UUID: 6ec6fb84-83b8-47e6-a04e-9cab207a6de1
Ancestors: Morphic-cmm.423

Added a 'Help' menu entry
  'Extending the system'

which includes instructions
1) how to switch to the trunk to get developer updates
2) how to load Pier2
3) how to load the HelpSystem by Torsten Bergmann

I see this as an intermediary solution to help first time users to quickly setup the working environment.

Please feel free to add more instructions how to load "things" into Squeak.
