Ah, well Tim and note there were oh say in an arbitrary 3.8 image

424 uses of Display and
265 uses of Sensor

which is 689 places to visit and understand. Also each of those has  
the decision
which sensor and which display to use?

In that era of Morphic is Dead, long live Tweak we decided not to do  
anything.
In Tweak you ask for the world's Display or Sensor so it always has  
the right context if you
tie a TweakWorld to a particular HostWindow.

Laslty I'll note Morphic was rewritten over in

http://scratch.mit.edu/

I believe under the grant rules the source should be available,  
surprised  no-one has gone digging to
see if that has a better Morphic to build on?
