Hi Bill. I think both suggestions are good. Maybe you or Torsten have time to it. Basically, both can be done. Open a file dialog instead of just asking the name of the file / folder. And the other one, now that in pharo 1.2 we have the samlltalk and text editor, it would be easy. We can have "notes" and "scripts". Notes can just open a text editor (without colors and completion) and "scripts" a shout workspace with autocompletion + colors.

BTW, Shout is amazing and is exceedingly helpful in the browsers and debugger. �I try to mention that on the rare instances that highlighting is unwelcome.

that would be helpful, but annoying at the same time. (less than 5% of my workspace has content that I would regret of closing)

Since I guess you are in a dev image, why just not using the tool Script Manager for those important workspaces with alot of stuff ? . With this you can save them and do what you want.
At the same time, it is not annoying in all workspaces...

cheers
