This is just like UpdatingStringMorph. I agree that it is wonderful. I
use it, for example, to show what my current window dimensions are
(useful when developing for an eventual 800x600 release distribution).
Or for lots of things.
I do wish there was an onBlock: selector instead of just on:selector:.
I find myself specifying #value as the selector an aweful lot!
Anyway, maybe InfoStringMorph should be phased over into
UpdatingStringMorph, to remove the redundency?
