[Squeakland] 1 script -> N objs

[Randy Heiland]

Thanks for both your replies.  I failed to communicate exactly what I wanted
to do.  I see that both your techniques do indeed impart a given script to
another object.  However, what I'm looking for is a simple way to execute a
single script and have it act on N (sibling) objects (where N can be large).
Basically, I want to reproduce the behavior of the StarSqueak objects (e.g.
slimemold).  Related, is the "proper" way to easily generate N sibling
objects to create a script with misc: Sketch look like Sketch's copy ?
