There is a preference -- #universalTiles -- that uses SyntaxMorph 
instead of PhraseTileMorph. What people are actually using, I do not

to take comments at face value):

newScriptorAround: aPhrase
     "Sprout a scriptor around aPhrase, thus making a new script. 
aPhrase may either be a PhraseTileMorph (classic tiles 1997-2001) or a 
SyntaxMorph (2001 onward)"
