[Etoys] EllipseMorph and sibling instance

[polishookm]

Ok. Trying my hand with proper terminology ...

I have a player that's wearing an ellipseMorph. The player script is 
below. I"m thinking that through a halo on the ellipseMorph, I can click 
on the green duplicate icon to get a second ellipseMorph that responds 
to the same script. But the sibling player doesn't then respond to the 
script.

I'm fairly sure, on the other hand, that I have been able to apply the 
same idea successfully to sketchMorphs. So that's the larger context of 
my question.

Thanks in advance for all help ....
