Thanks Dan

I got it going after about 3 hours (the first direct manipulation morph
I've done, and only the second morph).

I'm not entirely sure, but I think most of the problems I had with it
were either down to my using 2.8 (it's written for 3.0) (can anyone
comment? has Morphic been improved in 3.0?) -- I found duplicating the
buttons easy enough, but all kinds of wierd stuff seemed to happen when
I tried to duplicate the scripts -- either the messages would appear
disconnected or to conflict, or by following some of your more
experimental suggestions and finding I had no idea of how to get back
other than exiting and going back to the last save. 

Not that the experimental or "oh, wow!" stuff isn't really important,
but maybe it belongs in a box out or a footnote as it's pretty tricky to
follow a textual description of drag and drop programming at the best of
times.

This morphic by direct manipulation stuff looks tremendously powerful
and it's great to think it'll be documented more.

May the morph be with you!
