Am I correct to assume that startCoord is either an instance variable or
a temp in a method of a subclass of Morph?  (my answer below assumes so)

If you want the position of the mouse cursor, you should ask the mouse
event for its position instead of asking the morph that received the 
event.  Your code might look something like (this method should be
defined in a subclass of Morph) :

mouseDown: evt
	| startCoord ... |

	...
	startCoord := evt position.
	...


Hope this helps,
Joshua
