When I use the erase tile in a game or any simulation I usually don't want it to slide to trash or make a screetch sound. I know I can set the Preferences to not do this but kids could have trouble finding and setting these.

Good point. Perhaps, actually, the "erase" command should always do the silent removal you mention, and there should be a different tile command, something like "move to trash", for use when that's what the user really wants...
I'll cross-post this to the Squeakland mailing-list, hoping for comments...
Cheers,

Agreed.

Not until someone speaks up who needs that, imho.

I think in a script, a silent erase is really what one wants.

I agree with Bert. I think we only need one erase. If someone whats the old behavior they can script it them self with etoys :-) Karl
