How are you creating the Morph? If you're doing something like openInWorld, 
it starts stepping. If you just say TestMorph new, it won't step. Basically, 
as soon as you put your Morph into the World, it starts.

Anyway, if you want it not to step, just make a wantsSteps method that 
returns false. Then when you want to start, make sure that wantsSteps will 
return true; then call startStepping.
