But it already does this.

If your application can live in a single (OS) window, then ignore the 
SystemWindow and friends and use the World as a container.

Try the attached file to see a silly little example of this. It makes a 
Browser window, then makes the browser window the entire contents of the 
World.

Save it to your Squeak directory, then do something like:

(on Unix):

cd /path/to/squeak
squeak squeak.image $PWD/fullWindowBrowser.st


(on Windows (I think)):

c:
cd \path\to\squeak
start squeak.image c:\path\to\squeak\fullWindowBrowser.st


No, I guess that doesn't work right because of a URL decoding bug. So don't 
try this in Windows without first fixing FileUrl>>pathForFile.
