Cool, thanks for this.

By the way, if you want to build a Self world and you’re not in the objects directory, you can tell Self where it is with the -b flag, eg:
```
BASE=/path/to/objects 
Self -f $BASE/worldBuilder.self -b $BASE -o morphic
```

  I don’t think anyone is touting Self as a drop in replacement for $YOUR_FAVOURITE_LANGUAGE :)
  
  There’s nothing in principal which would preclude a Windows port - over time the VM has been on Sparc Solaris, PPC Classic MacOS, PPC OS X, x86 OS X and x86 Linux - but Self is a large project with very few development resources available to it.
