There is some, but unfortunately, not too much.  There are some projects
on the SuperSwiki, in particular TableLayout:
<http://209.143.91.36/super/gallery1>

Some introductory archetecture stuff:
<http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/1285>

Most importantly, and I'm sure others will agree, is that the Browser is
the best documentation.  Don't take that to mean that there is a lot of
documentation attached to classes in the class comment, rather, it means
to look at the Morphic catagories, the classes therein and their methods,
as well as small Morphic apps.

I was really annoyed when first learning Morphic by this lack of "real"
documentation.  The only GUI toolkit prior to Morphic I've ever programmed
for was Swing, which had docs.  In the begining you have to learn the
hard way, but later down the road, it'll seem like it was worth it.  When
it clicks, it clicks.
