I give up. I'm sure it's possible if I work at it long enough, but it's
taking too long on my own.
I can probably do what I want faster with HotDraw, now that I've written
an editor built on that.

Thanks, Reinout. I'll give that a try hopefully later this week.

I had a quick look and to me it seems that subcanvases will do. The
windowspec of the painters main window is not present because that is
what you are editing/creating - it needs to be passed in in a different
way.
All the magic seems to be in UIPainter>>openPainterWindows: and two
other methods (#openPaletteFor:, #openPainterToolFor:), if you study
these you will notice that all three windows open using a spec, hence
subcanvasses might just work if you override these three methods :-)
One thing you need to know: passing a spec to a subcanvas when hooking
it up can be done by passing the name of a method (#windowSpec) as well
as by passing a reference to a spec instance (WindowSpec new).
HTH,
Reinout
