If you're using eToys, you can get a halo on the innermost
"TextMorphForEditView" in the scrolling text and set its characters
from a script.

You can set its characters in a script triggered by the buttons (see
its viewer vocabulary category called "text", which it shares with
other TextMorphs).

Yes. Someone should make a reference listing the various things you
can do "by hand" from the halos and menus and how to do them in your
code. Making things directly is a good way to try out appearances and
simple behaviors, but if you want code, then you have to use an
inspector or write a program to spit out the appropriate
constructors. There is the beginning of a system for doing this (see
Morph>>constructorString) but it doesn't work properly, and hasn't
been updated.

If you're using eToys, that's the case. However, you can save what you
built to disk and make a Morph from it quickly.
