Strange blocks found
Last night I was farting around with the "Shift Click R" open browser thing. I just went around setting "Falses" to "Trues" and nothing really happened. I also downloaded that image file posted by WaveOSBeta and added that but nothing happened. I looked around later and found like twenty new blocks and several of them work. I don't know whether it was the image file or the squeak hacking. I have no knowledge of SmallTalk-80 except the fact that there are a lot of trues and falses. WaveOSBeta made a block in his project that opens your browser to another website and I think I may have got that from the image. Please could someone explain why I got these and why a bunch don't work. I'll soon post a picture of them all.

Re: Strange blocks found
You most likely changed the 'show experimental blocks' or 'show obsolete blocks' portions of the block specs to true. But you are correct, there are many trues/falses in the source code, so I'll have get a bit more information before I can determine how they came about.

How do you find the experimental blocks?

Unless what billyedward said about "experimental blocks" is true...

...I would say you almost definately got the blocks from the image file. I have myself created the "open browser with URL [ ]" block, and it takes much more that changing a boolean value in the code. Consult the creator of the image file.
