I think I answered this too quickly, and didn't get your tone and
intention right. You're acknowledging Vanessa gave a real, useful
answer, and that's great.<br>
<br>
Apologies.<br>

Still, I hope you see that we have already spent way more time and
effort in answering your questions than you have spent in <a

<div dir="ltr"> Can someone explain what's going on near
the end of this sequence of basic steps?
<div> </div>
<div> - Open the World menu and select "New Morph...".
<br>
- Select "Basic...Boxed Morph" or really any morph
with a background fill color. <br>
An orange rectangle will appear, attached to the
mouse cursor. <br>
- Move to where you want to place it and click to
drop it. </div>
<div> - cmd-click (macOS) on the morph to open its
halo. <br>
- Click the blue button on the top row. <br>
- Select "debug...inspect morph" to open an Inspect
window <br>
for the object that represents that morph. <br>
- Click the `color` instance variable and note that
the value is a `Color` object. <br>
- Click in the bottom pane. </div>
<div> - Enter `color := Color red` and "Do it". </div>
<div> - Note that the value of the instance variable
in the upper-right pane updates to `Color red`, </div>
<div> BUT the fill color of the morph does not
change. <br>
- Enter `self color: Color blue` and "Do it". </div>
<div> - Note that the value of the instance variable
in the upper-right pane updates to `Color blue`, <br>
AND the fill color of the morph changes to blue. <br>
<div> </div>
<div> Why does the first approach not update the
morph, but the second approach does? </div>
<div> Both update the value of the instance variable
inside the Inspect window. </div>
