Hi Vanessa,

This is very nice, thank you!

WRT the (self wordsPerLine * height) + 1, it is there because of a bug 
in VectorEnginePlugin, that could access an invalid position beyond the 
end. See senders of #VEPapi5. But as SqueakJS doesn't include the 
VectorEnginePlugin, that hack is not needed. Just pushed an update for 
that. In order to use it, you'd need to pull repo, start Cuis with an 
OpenSmalltalk VM, do World / Changes / Install new updates, then save 
the image.

Still, I wonder why the Spur image flavors won't run on SqueakJS. Is 
Cuis using some primitive that Squeak doesn't use? (I mean, Spur Squeak 
does run on SqueakJS, right?) If so, do you plan to include them? If 
not, please tell which they are, I can borrow workaround code for them 
from older Cuis, or from Squeak, so Spur Cuis will run on SqueakJS.

Main reason is that in the future I'd like to have a single, immediate, 
Unicode ready Character class. Right now Character is the old byte style 
from Smalltalk-80, and UnicodeCodePoint is immediate on Spur but not on 
V3. I'd like to clean all that.

Thanks!
