Can't access objects in dictionary

[Facundo Vozzi]

Hi Amir,
did you define #= method on User ?

I guest that It'll look like this:

User >> = otherUser
"Answer whether the receiver is equal to the argument."
 self class = otherUser class ifFalse: [^false].
^self name = otherUser name

You need implement the #hash method too:

User >> hash
"Answer a SmallInteger whose value is related to the receiver's identity."
 ^self name hash

Hope this help.
