To move a morph, send "position: somePoint" to it. 
To make a morph respond to mouse clicks, set an eventhandler.

For example:

| a b |
a _ Morph new color: Color red; openInWorld.
b _ Morph new color: Color green; openInWorld.
a on: #mouseDown send: #value to: [b position: b position + (10 at 0)]

If you click the red morph, the green one will move to the right. It does
so by sending #value to the given block (stuff inside brackets), which
causes the code in the block to be executed.

If you were going to write a method you would set up an eventhandler that
sends a message to the button morph itself, like
	self on: #mouseDown send: #moveOtherMorph to: self
in the moveOtherMorph method you would send position: to the other morph.
