You could evaluate `(current-eventspace (make-eventspace))' in the REPL.

The -z REPL runs in MrEd's main thread, which is also the handler
thread for the main eventspace. Since the handler thread is busy with
the REPL, it can't service GUI events. One way around this problem, as
above, is to create a new eventspace (which has its own handler thread)
for GUI interactions.
