New issue 3602 by [hidden email]: Code evaluation possible in About  
box ...
http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=3602

One can open the about box, select the word "LICENSE" and
hit Cmd+D (which is a "do it").

   => gives an error that this class is missing

This could also make it possible to "break into" a deployed
image that uses the about box for own purposes
since one can select "define new class" from the menu
then and in the next page (where one typically edits the
class creation message one can enter any expression like
"Browser open" or whatever).

What about reusing the ideas in the TranscriptMorph, to display a Read-Only  
paragraph morph by filling in the contents of a paragraph to a form, then  
displaying the form in the morph?
Take a look at Transcript and TranscriptMorph.
If this idea seems good enough i can implement it.
