[Etoys] morphs in a holder

[polishookm]

As best as I can tell, there's a saveOnFile implementation for 
PasteUpMorph and a saveOnFile implementation for Morph.

Is fixing the feature/bug in which a Holder because of "save morph in 
file" in the debug menu becomes holder.project (rather than 
holder.morph) as simple as editing references to .project  in the 3 or 
so places it appears in PasteUpMorph >> saveOnFile .... so that .morph 
is used instead of .project?

As best as I can tell, PasteUpMorph >> saveOnFile knows how to recognize 
when a World is being saved (and thus needs to be a .pr file .... ?)

I'm sure this is all well known but it's definitely new for me ... :)

Thanks in advance ...

- Mark
