I'd like to re-use hand drawn maps done by one of Chris Gordon's students in my objects/supplies box to reuse for geography lessons etc. but haven't figured out how to save them somewhere in Etoys. Anyone know how to do this? Would appreciate the help! Thanks!

Thanks to Bertf for answering my question on #etoys channel. Here's the exchange:
<bertf> maraschino: currently there is no easy way except with programming. But you can make your own supplies flap and put all the objects you like in there. this will be saved with your project. <maraschino> bertf: how does one "make your own supplies flap"? and if I do this...I would then have to open the same project and rename it a different name each time to avail of the supplies flap? Newbie Etoys user here. Thank you for your patience. <bertf> maraschino: press cmd-comma, click "flaps..." <bertf> maraschino: tehn read the last item "about flaps" ;) <maraschino> bertf and kencausey: Thank you! I appreciate you both for taking the time. I will try bertf's solution. <bertf> maraschino: once you made a flap click "shared by all projects" so it will appear in any project. so you load the project with the filled flap, then click "make new project" and the flap should be there, too <bertf> maraschino: also, once you get this working, please post to the squeakland list so others can learn it too
Hope this helps for anyone encountering the same problem.

There also is a simpler way (I just didn't remember): In the "Connectors" category is a "Button Flap" that you can simply drag out to create a flap. If you then drop Sketches into it, they become buttons that create copies.

Another way would be to save a playfield with "parts bin" flag on into a .morph file. To do so:
- Go to the World's white menu handle and choose 'preferences'. - (The layout of it is messed up but) for the "type here, hit search" part, type "debughalo" and hit enter. - It'll show one entry "debugHaloHandle". Click on the check box. - Grab a regular playfield from the treasure box. - Put your map objects into that playfield. - From the playfields white handle menu, choose "playfield options..." and then check 'parts bin' option. - Get the halo for the playfield again and from the gray debug handle, choose "save morph in file". provide a name and it'll create a .morph file in the etoys directory. - Quit the Etoys session. And copy the .morph file to students computers. The above needs to be done only once by the teacher. - Students start Etoys. Drag the .morph file onto the running Etoys window and choose "load as morph".

Thank you Yoshiki and Bert! I think both of these would work. Just have to test it out and figure out what would be a faster delivery in the classroom. Would be nice to have this in the supplies/catalog bin for cleaner storage and delivery.
Thank you again! Appreciate the help!
