Karl,

Yes, it would certainly help if we made it easier to get only 
correctly-spelled selector names as values in these 
script-name-parameter tiles.

My intention here has been that we would add a "selector" data-type 
to the etoy system (right now, the parameters used to supply script 
names are of plain String type,) thus allowing us to have 
selector-friendly readouts, with selector-friendly UIs, for these 
script-name arguments.

We *could* use dNd to change such values, and/or we could have a UI 
on such tiles offering a pop-up of known user-script-selectors from 
which the user can choose -- in the same manner as on Sound-readout 
tiles or the do-menu-item tile.  However, for the general case 
(thinking beyond etoys and morphs) we still will want to retain a way 
that the user can actually type in the selector that's on the tip of 
his tongue.
