[Newbies] Getting a handle on objects which are instantiated through the various flaps

[Yoshiki Ohshima]

  Also, there is a menu item in the workspace (click on the menu
button next to the close button in the title bar) called "create
textual references to dropped morph".  If you check the box, you can
drop a morph onto the workspace and then you can refer to the object
by the name created in the workspace from the workspace.

  However, this is not as effective as doing stuff in the inspector
for it, as it has more "context" associated with it.
