TranscriptStream questions

TranscriptStream seems to be able to do what I want for displaying a
growing text stream from a serial port. However there are a few
things I don't understand.
----
This snippet works as I would like but how do I change the title?
myTranscript _ Transcript open.
myTranscript show: 'This text shows.'
----
This snippet opens a transcript window titled 'My Transcript' but the show:
message does not work.
myTranscript _ (TranscriptStream new openAsMorphLabel: 'My
Transcript') openInWorld.
myTranscript show: 'my text'. "gets message not understood - show:"
What do I do in place of show: which would give the same results of
adding to the bottom of the existing text?
----
Is it ok to use TranscriptStream in this way or are there negative
implications? Eventually I might want to have several
TranscriptStreams within a window. Is it possible? Or should I be
using PluggableTextMorphs (or some other). If so, how do I get the
PluggabletextMorph to act like the TranscriptStream with the
equivalent of the show: message?
Thx for any help.
Ken
