Looking at the code in SystemDictionary, it seems that StartUpList and ShutDownList should be classes, but when I do a "find class..." it doesn't find them. Where are those and how can I find out what's in them?<br>
<font color="#888888"></font></blockquote><div><br><br>They're "class pool variables", which are a sort of global variables. Look at the definition of SystemDictionary:<br><br> IdentityDictionary subclass: #SystemDictionary<br>
instanceVariableNames: 'cachedClassNames'<br> classVariableNames: 'LastImageName LastQuitLogPosition LowSpaceProcess LowSpaceSemaphore MemoryHogs ShutDownList SpecialSelectors StartUpList StartupStamp SystemChanges'<br>
poolDictionaries: ''<br> category: 'System-Support'<br><br>To see how they're used, click on the "Class variables" button in the browser and select them. The most interesting use is in "SystemDictionary class initialize".<br>
<br>To actually inspect their values, open up an object explorer on "SystemDictionary" and navigate to "classPool".<br></div></div><br>Gulik.<br clear="all"><br>-- <br><a href="http://people.squeakfoundation.org/person/mikevdg">http://people.squeakfoundation.org/person/mikevdg</a><br>
