Bert,
(Resending as lists rejected as too big with stack trace screenshot)

FYI while trying to investigate I saw this about *Chrome Apps support will
be removed*:
*Important:* Chrome will be removing support for Chrome Apps on Windows,
Mac, and Linux. Chrome OS will continue to support Chrome Apps.
Additionally, Chrome and the Web Store will continue to support extensions
on all platforms. Read the announcement
<http://blog.chromium.org/2016/08/from-chrome-apps-to-web.html> and learn
more about migrating your app <https://developers.chrome.com/apps/migration>
.

I tried the https://squeak.js.org/etoys/#fullscreen  but could not save a
file.   Got an exception:

​

Cheers,
Stephen

To some of us, writing computer programs is a fascinating game. A program
is a building of thought. It is costless to build, weightless, growing
easily under our typing hands. If we get carried away, its size and
complexity will grow out of control, confusing even the one who created it.
This is the main problem of programming. It is why so much of today's
software tends to crash, fail, screw up.

When a program works, it is beautiful. The art of programming is the skill
of controlling complexity. The great program is subdued, made simple in its
complexity.
