Gary --

I will confess that I don't remember the magic menu items that allow 
all this. Instead of bothering Andreas right now I will try to look 
at the old demo to remember how we built it. But you did get the 
first part of this with the flasher. The difficulty with the 
workspace could be that all system windows are prevented to take part 
in drag and drops unless a preference is changed. Try it with a 
TextMorph. There is a menu item somewhere that allows you to point 
into the mapped morphs ....

Cheers,

Alan
