[squeakland] Parameters in etoys

Parameters are a nice way of defining a variable local to the script. Adding
a parameter to a script makes the script a little different in the sense
that it doesn't tick anymore but it has to be manually called from another
script (providing a value for the parameter). It's a very useful mechanism
and a good example could be the #polygon: script in the "Turtle Geometry"
project.

Cheers,
Richo
