Where can I read about the standard primitives in Squeak? I can find lots of resources on writing my own primitives, but I want to know what the existing ones do. For example, I'm looking at the "new" method in Behavior and I see "<primitive: 70>". Where can I find a description of that does? Is there an easy way to find the corresponding C source code?

As mentioned the VM is built from Slang code, but it requires some platform specific code to interact with the operating system, there is now some documentation at http://isqueak.org/PlatformVMAP
Of course if you don't have an operating system http://sourceforge.net/projects/squeaknos/
