[Squeakland] very new etoys user question

[Alan Kay]

Hi Sue --

All the images in Squeak can overlap.

So they should paint their rockets separately from their backgrounds 
-- these should be separate objects. Then just picking up the rocket 
and putting it on the background painting will get the rocket "on 
top".

Cheers,

Alan.
