Okay, take a look at the various Form classes and you should see how 
to copy the contents of one Form into another.

I'd also look to see how Morphic uses Forms (for example in class 
ImageMorph or class SketchMorph) for automatic display of your 
results.

You can also completely bypass both Morphic and MVC and write your 
own display routines from scratch ....

Cheers,

Alan
