[Cuis] Patterns

[Luciano Notarfrancesco]

Excelent, this exampe has exactly what I wanted yesterday. Models should
implement #open for instance creation. Also, all the different ways we are
currently using to open windows should be cleaned up and unified... but
I'll be happy with #open in every model at least (and always returning the
window).

Also Smalltalk|save, saveAs, quit.

I don't use menues much, I rather doIt ;)
