Using Book and Stack Morphs

Also, FWIW, my testing so far indicates that all the BookMorph stuff seems to
work quite well. One key is knowing that you select "save as new-page
prototype" from the menu when you're on a page you want to turn into the
equivalent of a HyperCard background. The sound and visual effects stuff all
works fine and as far as I can tell, you can put any kind of Morph into the
book and it works fine.
Resizing is a tad obtuse until you think about it. You can't resize the Book,
but you can resize pages. The book can contain many pages of arbitrary size. If
you resize a page and then you want the whole book to be that size, there's a
menu option that will do that for you.
I'm psyched. I'm going to see how much of a tutorial I can put together on this
in the next day or so.
There are still some things about StackMorphs I think will work better, but
some of them are still mysterious to me.
