World vs. ActiveWorld

What is the difference? There are many hardcoded references to each. I wonder if they are all using the correct one...

World is the outer-most world in the current project.

ActiveWorld, ActiveHand, ActiveEvent are set to the current values during event/timer callbacks.

Most code should use ActiveWorld, unless it explicitly needs to refer to the outer world.

"self world" is preferable but only works inside a Morph.

Thanks! Why would ActiveWorld be different than World?

When a world runs in a window, I think.
