Alejandro,

    This is tres cool. If you combine this and the FractalPlant,
    then you have a multimedia into for a fractal movie ;-)

    BTW, please find attached a tweaked version so that MobVM
    will not bring up the Squeak window, it's annoying.

    The seventh (1 based) integer (savedWindowSize) was set to 0.

    Cheers,

    PhiHo.
