Subbu,
Thanks this is a lot of fun and useful. So I tried to use it for fractions (although I really like your art work project at Ofset http://community.ofset.org/index.php/Grab_area_buttonbetter, but I am thinking about fractions lately)
I used the "do menu item | stencil a sketch" scripting tile in a "Mouse Down" script. The rectangle then moves forward by its width. So with a series of successive clicks you can make a fraction.
It get's my vote for inclusion in the next release.
Thanks, Stephen

Hi Steve,
I have attached a patch to Morphic that adds three functions to 'extras...' menu for any Morph. These enable anyone to quick convert an assembly of morphs into a sketch (e.g. a car assembled using rectangles and ellipses), use any morph as a stencil to cut out a sketch from underlying screen area and to create silhouette (shadow) sketch respectively.
To use the patch, just drop it into Etoys and select "file it in". I would appreciate it if you could use it and let me know if it is useful. If so, I will send it to Etoys Inbox.
