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...

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.

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
