Thanks George for such a detailed reply. I take the statements above to 
be the nub of your design rationale(?)
MicroWorlds on the other hand, embodies distinct design choices to 
provide particular tools, at the expense of other functionality. 
It's the quality of both these choices, and their implementation, that 
makes MicroWorlds so good. It's why MicroWorlds is the preferred medium 
in the Australian 'computer rich' schools, where the entire 
curriculum is expressed on the childrens personal laptops.
