Thanks Scott. Is it the case that this only works when Sketch's heading=0 ? I figured out how the 2 arguments affected placement of the rotationCenter (rC) and created 4 scripts - each one placing it in a different corner. However, when I did a 'turn by' (or simply changed the value of its heading) on the sketch, the rC scripts then had no effect.

Scott, Apologies for being ignorant in Squeak (textual) pgming, but *exactly* what would I type into a script? E.g., I create a rectangle 'Sketch', open its Viewer, drag out an emptyScript tile, and toggle it to show textual code -- then what? By default, of course, the "rotation center" crosshairs is in the center of the rectangle. Let's say I'd like to program it to be at the lower-left corner - how could I do that?

Just to clarify, my reply was that it (i.e. programmatically setting an object's rotation center) could not done with tiles alone, but that it was "easily accomplished" if the user were willing to resort to using a single line of *textual* script...
