[Cuis-dev] change image in ImageMorph

[Mark Volkmann]

Thanks for the feedback! I definitely want to learn the proper terminology
for everything in Smalltalk.
Interestingly though, in a System Browser when I'm ready to implement a new
method I see this in the bottom pane:

messageSelectorAndArgumentNames
"comment stating purpose of message"

| temporary variable names |
statements

So it seems the term "statement" is used in the template for creating new
methods.
