Hi Alan, thanks for the answer.  I think I actually do want EToys because I
want my objects to be generically scriptable using tiles.  That example I
asked about was chosen because it's something I already know how to do in
squeak :-).  It's not the actual project, just a learning exercise.

    Regards,
    Steve
