You can use a Holder to hold a set of numeric Texts. You can then do 
operations on these numeric values; you can move around the Holder 
using a cursor.

There's also a setter/getter pair for using a Holder as a numeric 
collection (number at cursor).

eToys works with Morphs. If you have something that can present itself 
as a Morph, then eToys can work with it.

An interesting project would be to make MorphicWrappers work with 
eToys.
