1) Drag a playfield from the flap. Embed both the paint object and the text 
box into the image.

2) Smalltalk code in the Tetris game class is one example of a keystroke 
listener but you have to have your mouse over the morph for it to receive 
the keystrokes. Morphs moving around make this hard to do.
