Actually, StarOffice 6 has no MDI anymore. It's not even optional.

OTOH, Mozilla will (optionally) allow an MDI interface similar to Opera.

Back to Squeak: Has anybody already created some kind of "MorphBar" that
permanently lists all top-level morphs of a project and allows switching
between them (bringing it to the top, that is)?

The functionality is already in the "Find Window" menu, so the simplest
implementation would just pop up that menu from the NavBar. But
I'd like to have something more accessible ...
