     Folks interested in Smalltalk for AI should talk to Jon Sticklen
     (sticklen at cps.msu.edu), head of the Intelligent Systems Laboratory
     (http://isl.cps.ms.edu/, I think).  When I was a student of Jon's
     in the late '80s, he made a conscious choice to move from Lisp
     to Smalltalk for all of our major knowledge-based systems projects.
     They have built and are using and refining a number of KBS shells,
     both for small research projects and for larger, fielded applications.

     I haven't been able to draw Jon into the Squeak fold yet, but I'm
     still working on him.
