Omigosh!  How very sweet!  I had no idea how utterly absolutely and wonderfully cool "Play with me 6" truly was!  I am embarassed to admit that I though the pictures were just window dressing to show the neat geometric shapes and the ability to draw arrows with pointers, together with the Morphic browser.  

This is the reason that documentation is a good thing.  Thank you, Helge for turning me on to yet another beautiful Squeak subtlety!

A while ago, I had written:

To answer my own question, it was actually quite easy once I did it right. :)

All I needed was a ComponentLayout (from the NewMorph... menu or a
StandardPartsBin) to place them on. Once I had that, dropping
PrintComponents, ListComponents and FunctionComponents, and wiring them
(press shift over a Pin to start wiring) was easy and fun. (Very much so!)

This is great stuff to play with, definitely recommended. Next, I will try
to make a few Components of my own, maybe for MIDI processing or circuit
simulation (poor man's INSIST).

So- Is anyone else out here playing with Components?

Cheers,
Helge
