compare the difference in these two:

Morph new openInWorld;
     color: Color red;
     position: 20 at 100;
     on: #mouseDown
     send: #value
     to: [(r _ RectangleMorph new extent: 500 at 500)
     openInHand;
     position: r center].

Morph new openInWorld;
     color: Color green;
     position: 20 at 200;
     on: #mouseUp
     send: #value
     to: [(r _ RectangleMorph new extent: 500 at 500)
     openInHand;
     position: r center].

If you want to keep the big rectangle in hand, the red button requires 
you hold the mouse button continuously. The green button retains the big 
rectangle until you click. HandMorph simply waits for the next mouse up 
or down to drop the morphs it's holding.

Cheers,
Bob
