  How old is your sister?  You (she) may be able to do what she wants
just all with tile scripting.

  By the way, In the menu (accessible from the button on the left in
the title bar) of a Workspace, there is a checkbox called "create
textual reference to dropped morphs".  If you check it on, you can
drop a Morph onto the Workspace and get a variable definition for it.
