Refreshing SQUEAK World

 
Interestingly , i wanted to ask this question ,
Does SQUEAK have a class that represents its own host window ie the OS level Window in which SQUEAK is running.

Although it does return a handle to the current window, Who does the refreshing of the SQUEAK window , Is it pre-Built in VM itself, who does it know which Overlaps on what and which shud be drawn first etc.. ?

Can this be modified within SQUEAK itself ?

No. "Areitha Ffenestri" that was talked about in a different thread  
provides this support.

Squeak always renders as if it was unobstructed, into a Form known to  
the VM.  The VM takes care of pushing the Form's pixels to the screen  
whenever they are modified, or when parts of the window are exposed.

Not sure what you're asking. Of course, drawing can be modified, but  
that's obvious, right?
