Scripts are (special) methods that live in so-called "uniclasses". If you 
browse the Morphic-User Objects category, you'll see the actual classes that 
were made on the fly. Each scripted object gets its own class.

But there's some special plumbing that lets a method be usable for scripting, 
mostly including declaring slots and commands for the Viewer. I suspect that 
the reason that regular methods aren't visible in the Viewer is that the eToy 
user would be overwhelmed.

Look at implementors of "additionsToViewerCategories" to see how a class adds 
commands and slots to the Viewer.
