Re-2: Stef, BotsInc problem...

Hi David,

I was digging a little bit in the code of the MicroWorkspace. I saw
that Stef changed the behavior of the execution for the content of 
this Workspace by clicking on the button. Every execution is bounded
with the execution of a block. This block forks. So I didn't see the 
behavior of stepping in this morph but this would explain why the script
is still running after a halt. 
I do not know enough to see why Stef did it in this way. 
And after all I guess that the programming environment is not the goal
of the book and BotsInc.

Cheers,
  Frank
