[Etoys] Getting QuickGuides into your image

[Bert Freudenberg]

Ted,

actually the index.pr file is already in

http://etoys.laptop.org:80/svn/trunk/etoys/QuickGuides/

If it was not, we would have to put it there, since it is essential  
for developers. We really want to have all necessary things in one  
place. As time permits we need to put our dev image into that svn  
repository, too.
