It was *David N.* Smith who contributed the "DoItButton" code.

It was not assimilated into the formal update stream because Squeak 
already has Bob Arning's more general feature allowing a "mouse-up 
action" to be directly ascribed to *any* morph (a feature mentioned 
by Alan recently in a reply in this same thread.)

To use Bob's mouse-up-action feature, choose "add mouse-up action" 
from the "extras" branch of any morph's halo menu, and just type in 
the code you want to have evaluated on mouse-up.
