I haven't used ST V much, but have used ST 80 a lot.

The Journal of Object-Oriented Programming had a paper on
Model/View/Controller in V1 N3 that describes the ST 80
user interface classes.  Basically, they are a lot like the
ones in ST V.  

(i) ST-80 has buttons.

(ii) In ST-80, ControlManager has an OrderedCollection of window
     instances and keeps track of which window is active.
(iii)ScreenController only manages a menu.

(iv) StandardSystemView and StandardSystemController manage the
     opening and closing of a window, resizing, cycling, etc.
     Once you get the image, you shouldn't have much trouble
     figuring out what is happening, since the general philosophy
     is similar to that of ST V.
