See Torsten Bergmann's note for a progammatic way to set things.
For a one off, in the field testing, sort of way...
For classes with morphic representations you can:
grab a slider from the parts bin
Bring up its halo.
Select the red menu.
Make it stay up.
Set the action selector to 'setTurns:'.
Set the maximum and minimum range.
Set truncation on to avoid fractional values.
Sight target to select a target.*
Play!
*(If you are not offered this option,
then you are using a sqeauk earlier than 3.9
without some essential targeting fixes.
If thats the case Torsten's methods will still work.)

In the workspace you can create the slider
mySlider :=
SimpleSliderMorph new openCenteredInWorld .
then
mySlider target: si
alternately from the workspace menu
check the box for
'create textual references to dropped morphs'.
Then drag your slider over and drop it on the window.
