  When you hit the "go" button in the "All Scripts" tool, paused
scripts will start ticking but normal ones don't.

  Say you have Rectangle1 and Rectangle2, and create a script at
Rectangle1 with mouseEnterDragging.  When you pick up Rectangle2 and
drag it over to Rectangle1, the script will be triggered.

  Other than world and pages, only defunct code uses it; so I think it
  is safe to say it opening and closing are for world and book pages.

  GeeMailMorph is an unsupported Object hidden in the system.   (Say,
you open a Text, type "GeeMailMorph new openInWorld" in it and press
Ctrl-d to get it.)  In the special kind of scroll text, you can drop a
regular object.  When you scroll the pane the trigger should work...

  But now, I think (unfortunately) removing the 'more...' item when
etoyFriendly is on is the way to go...
