Hi Stewart.

You can find these options in the preferences panel.  If you turn on
Optional Morphic Buttons, you will find them (in a morphic project) on new
instances of System Browsers, File List, Debugger, etc.  The same holds true
for Annotations.

You can configure your Annotations if you have global flaps turned on.  Look
on the left side of a morphic project flap for Annotations.

Cheers & good evening...
