[Cuis-dev] Object wantsSteps

[Gerald Klix]

The simplest Morph that comes to my mind is UpdatingMenuItemMorph.

See UpdatingMenuItemMorph>>#wantsSteps UpdatingMenuItemMorph>>#stepTime 
UpdatingMenuItemMorph>>#stepAt:

However I have no clue why UpdatingMenuItemMorph>>#stepTime is 
categorized as 'testing'.


HTH,

Gerald
