Saving Workspace to a File
You can open a file using a fileList, and cut and paste into that. But you wanted a better solution than that, right?
Dan Ingalls suggests working in a fileList instead.
"Another solution to this is to work in a fileList. If you don't
like the extra realEstate consumed by the list part, just 'spawn'
(cmd-o) the file. A lot of people don't know about this feature of
most browsers. In this case, it gives you something as simple as
a workspace (without stored variables, it's true), but with file
save available. -Dan"
And RonJeffries suggests creating objects instead.

If you work in the Morphic user environment, you can also simply save a workspace to a file. Click the meta-mouse-key (the one that brings up halo's) over a workspace so that halos appear for the SystemWindow (you may have to click a few times). Select the red halo -> debug ... -> save morph in a file. You can later reopen the morph from a filelist.
