Re: [Dr. Geo] Please explain difference between Smalltalk Sketches and DrGeo Sketches

[address@hidden]

Hi,

This explains the difference between

1. SmalltalkSketchEditor/SmalltalkSketchBrowser with the button "My Sketches"
2. DrGeo with the button "My Sketches"

So yes, you answered the question.   

I don't mind that the name is "My Sketches" in both cases,
I was only surprised to save a sketch in one window (where it is visible under 
"My Sketches"),
and that it was absent under "My Sketches" in a different window.

You could rename the button "My Smalltalk Sketches" but I don't mind,
now that I know that they are different.

Also I can confirm that I can manipulate both sketches interactively (in both 
windows),
also the examples in the SmalltalkSketchBrowser.

For example it works with the circumscribed circle example.

I am running DrGeo on the latest Cuis release (Cuis 6.3 ?) and it works fine.

Platform: UNIX (Solaris for Intel x64/AMD 64) with Cog VM CoInterpreter 
VMMaker.oscog-eem.3356

Regards,
David Stes
