[Newbies] Flushing Squeak Cache

[Dirk Leas]

I'm running latest Squeak on OS X. I in the beginning of Section 2 of the
laser game walk through and I forgot to add the class method to
GridDirection. I run the test cases including my new GridDirectionTestCase
and it of course fails as it doesn't know what the symbol is. I go back and
add it (browse it again after adding it just to make sure I added it), and I
get the same error in the Test Runner.

There have been several occasions where I add "something" (e.g. class,
method, instance variable, etc.), go back to do some rafactoring, and expect
the latest save to cascade through the VM so that my next test case runs the
latest code -- often it doesn't. I've seen this before in other environments
where the VM is cashing "stuff" and latest code isn't always getting run.

TIA,
D
