This is a long-standing problem with the Unix VM. Patches welcome. Or  
get rid of the stupid CapsLock key like OLPC did ;)

Open two browsers, one on the instance side, one on the class side.  
Select your method, then drag it into the protocol in the other browser.

Embed a plain Morph, some RectangleMorphs, and some TextMorphs in  
your morph.
