SystemWindows are not the only way to group Morphs. A lot of the tools <br>
made by the original Squeak devs used PasteUpMorph to group Morphs or <br>
just bare Morphs and halos are the best way to interact with those.<br>
<br>
<br>
I don't actually like how SystemWindows are the go to for grouping <br>
Morphs. They lose a lot of power in exchange for convenience. IIRC, they <br>
were originally introduced to make it easier to port the existing dev <br>
tools from the MVC GUI, not as the standard way to make tools.<br>
