You state a general problem, but for the particular goal of learning to
use Morphic, the Swiki is excellent as far as I know.  The essential
parts of Morphic have not changed from the original.  Events, drawing,
submorphs, etc. are all basically the same.

What has changed, is that there is a lot of extra stuff, and that some
morphs have new class names.  To get going, though, you don't *have* to
learn all the new goodies.
