Hi Matt,
	As you know, Tom Goddard is on vacation -- so these answers are for novelty purposes only. :-)

1) I'm pretty sure that VolumeViewer.volumedialog.active_volume() will return the active volume (can return None of course in some cases).

2) I think that calling the volume's matrix_value_statistics method will return an object whose .minimum and .maximum attributes are what you want.  Maybe.
