Ziggy,

I strongly recommend that when using GLASS/GsDevKit, that you use the 
Metacello Scripting API for loading projects[1] (or project entries).

With the Metacello Scripting API you would replace the above expression 
with something like the following:

   Metacello new
     configuration: 'Seaside';
     repositiry: 'http://www.squeaksource.com/MetacelloRepository';
     version: #release3
     load

This "new" style of loading projects takes advantage of the Metacello 
project registry that tracks the exact version of a project that is 
loaded... The old style of loading would try to calculate the version of 
a project that was already loaded and while most of the time, it 
calculated correctly occasionally it would get it wrong and unhappiness 
would follow:)

If you use the scripting API for loading into GLASS, then the projects 
will show up in the tODE `project list` and you'll be able to leverage 
the `project` command for working with your projects...
