Thanks to all for your replies and help - great community.
I'd be happy to help out too by revisiting the MorpicWrappers
implementation,
But  I'm still getting back up to speed with squeak , and need to
understand to have a better
understanding of the core system and  workflow, that will come with
time - but the offer is there.
