[Etoys] morphs in a holder

[polishookm]

Thanks Bert, That worked perfectly with a small demonstration example. 
If it doesn't work for my student with 57 or so objects in a holder,

Yes, I agree with you - if the process could be more obvious, that would 
be helpful :)

.... (But I appreciate your quick reply ... thanks again! )
