I tried your instructions in Pharo 1.3 with a direct Subclass of Morph and noticed some differences to your description (which may very well be due to my lack of understanding..):

1) the examples work as well, if you do not add:
         handlesMouseDown: anEvent
            ^ true.

   if I did add handleMouseDown, my Morph did loose all other standard mouse actions, like beeing dragable.

2) defaultYellowButtonMenuEnabled
       ^ true.

   had to be included also if you did not want the default menu + some #addCustomMenuItems: aCustomMenu hand: aHandMorph _but also_ if you wanted a complete custom menu with #addYellowButtonMenuItemsTo: aMenu event: evt

Perhaps you have some more information on this?
BTW, thank you very much for the book entry, it’s much appreciated. I am a regular reader of the collaboractive book :)

Best regards, Helene.

Hmm... I was working on an ImageMorph subclass at the time. Maybe that causes the difference.

I'll take a deeper look when time permits.

This is normal. When you take over mouse handling, you lose the standard "pick up morph" behavior.

Glad you got some use out of it!
