Worldspawn is non-interactive entity, everything that builds a map except placed or spawned entities- brushes, sky, tool textures e.t.c. Map itself is an unique entity, which options you can access by going into 'Map'-->'Map properties'. Environmental death are caused by World e.g. when player dies because of fall damage, the entity which killed player is "worldspawn". Whenever mapper is placing new brush into the map, it's becomes the part of the "worldspawn". You can change important settings of your map like sky texture to use, render distance, replacement files and even player models restrictions.

Title of the map. The usage is unknown- it won't show any kind of text.
Environment Map : skyname
Name of sky to use, e.g. 'cliff'. You can check all skies names by going into 'gfx'-->'env' folder, or just choose you sky by going here: Sky List.
