Yes, there's a lot of activity and discussion recently :)

The problem with the global is that it means there can only be a World. 
I'd like to raise that restriction. Maybe, some time, we'll have various 
worlds, on different Displays or host windows, or even on different 
computers on a network.

So, what to do when you just need the world? In Cuis 4.1, any morph that 
is in a world can answer #world. It will be nil if the morph is not in 
any world. In addition, any object can answer #runningWorld. This method 
answers a world _only_ if called in the same process that is running the 
Morphic world. Both this accessors will work in an image with multiple 
worlds (provided that each world is run by a different process). If none 
of them serves you, then we need something else. Ideas are welcome!

Cheers,
Juan Vuletich
