[Cuis] MorphIt -- toward direct authoring with media

[Casey Ransberger]

Hey Ken,

Woot! I was working on something that did this but got distracted by a shiny robot before it got close to working. 

I've wanted to see Self-style authoring in Cuis ever since I realized that I liked working with Cuis better than the other distributions. It was the one thing I really enjoyed in Squeak that we're really missing in Cuisland. 

If we can throw in some HyperCard and... what is that thing from Self? Little tool to zero in on a Morph and then inspect it? Anyway, that thing. Would be just amazingly awesome.
