Thanks Subbu.

I started looking at what you sent and poking around trying to figure out the code, then realized I could do it "the Etoys way" and put the morph back into its previous holder (which can vary and I store in a player variable).
I wound up using a playfield include tile and replacing playfield with the variable used to store the original holder:
self getOrigHolder include: self.

What is the squeak code to embed it in a different object?

You have to detach the morph from its existing owner and then add it to the destination container. See grabMorph:from and attachMorph: methods for examples.

Also see senders of addMorph: and its variants addMorphFront:, addMorphBack: for more examples on how to embed morphs.

A Holder is essentially a PasteUpMorph with some options turned on. Other variants are Playfield, PartsBin etc.
