F.Y.I...
1. I think you mean the System Workspace.
2. We eliminated the System Workspace in Squeak 2.0, in favor of the 'do...' editable menu.
3. You will find a lot of such handy expressions in SystemDictionary
under the category 'housekeeping'. You may also find
printSpaceAnalysis (in 'shrinking') useful.
