Morph Q's on alignment and text editing

I have some newbie questions about morphs.
ALIGNMENT
I am sticking some morphs into a morph (a RectangleMorph) with
topToBottom listDirection. I would like them to be along the left
edge. However, setting listCentering: #topLeft doesn't help. How do
I achieve the desired effect?
EDITING TEXT
My subclass of RectangleMorph has an UpdatingStringMorph in it. It
doesn't seem to be getting any of the text I type. What do I need to
tweak to make this work?
I am using the UpdatingStringMorph because I have a model elsewhere
that holds the text; I thought this might be the best way to approach
it. However, there are a lot of textual things floating around
(TextMorph, StringMorph, UpdatingStringMorph, and I think some
others). What should I use in what situation?
Also, my text (set programmatically) displays with the apostrophes
around it. The underlying model is 'some text' (a string, not a text
object). Is there a way to get rid of the "'"?
MENUS
Currently I'm overriding yellow button down to pop up a MenuMorph.
But I see lots of menu-y methods around, and wonder if there is a way
to piggy back my menu onto an existing one.
I'm holding at 3.0 for now.
Thanks.
