I described one way (draw it collapsed or draw the submorphs too, 
depending on state).

You could also remove the menu items (either remove the submorphs 
themselves and add them later, or just regenerate the submorphs).

If you look at Morph>>collapse, it replaces the Morph (in its owner's 
submorphs collection) with a CollapsedMorph that then points to the 
original. This is another way, and allows for any Morph to be simply 
collapsed (I'm not suggesting that you want this particular Morph, 
but the technique is simple.) Look at beReplacementFor: to find the 
replacement.

So you could have (for instance) a CollapsedMenuMorph that when 
clicked replaced itself with the saved full menu.

SketchMorph>>collapse does this too.
