README.md

 It has TWO BlueJ Projects in it. Both are germain to the Chapter 1 in the doc folder.
 You will follow the chapter first in `Shapes` and then in `Picture`.
 
+__BUT__ you need to open these projects, NOT the ones that came with your BlueJ download. Use
+`File -> Open` to find your `dev/FirstLab-Shapes` folder. Open `Shapes` there. (and the same is
+for `Picture`).
+
 Be sure to 
 
 * FORK this repository to your own account.
 * For the first section of the lab, open the BlueJ project file Shapes/project.bluej from Finder.
 * For the second section, use Picture/package.bluej
