The idea would be to take the Morphic Rolodex stuff and the Objects tool
stuff off my free web space and put it on Minnow. (Thus -- at a stroke
-- making them editable by all, easier to find and freeing up my
webspace -- of course, I'll put a link back to Minnow so anyone who gets
lost can find them.)

Probably better to have them in just one place, so that there is one
"definitive" version.

Thanks Bert, I'll do that sometime in the morning (time for bed!)
