<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hehe, ever try writing code on a blackberry? :)<BR>

Up in objects encodeon fetch displaystring from object, compare == to object, if they are same you have guaranteed recursion and might as well try asstring and give up later... Recursion is pain in VisualWorks because of lack of stack overflow, but michaels package helps a bit. Hard to elaborate without looking at the browser, sorry!<BR>

That sounds good to me, and to Smybol as well while we're at it. That<BR>
also simplifyies some Seaside code and makes it better understandable.<BR>

What would such code look like?<BR>
