It's a hack, sure, but what could possibly go wrong? SerialPort isn't used for anything system-critical.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Yes, that's what I thought but since I don't usually put my hands in this part of the system I wanted to make sure I won't find any weird problem later :)</div>

ReadOnlyVariableBindings are there to protect against accidentally overwriting system globals (i.e., when executing "Array := new" in a workspace which is one of my favorite mistakes :-) But as long as you know what you're doing, go ahead.</div>

BTW, it will be faster to install your class if you do the following (it avoids the need to recompile all references):<br>
<br>
[SerialPort := SqueakSerialPort]<br>
on: AttemptToWriteReadOnlyGlobal<br>
do:[:ex| ex resume: true].<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Thanks for the explanation and the code snippet. I'll give it a try then :)</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Richo</div><div> </div>
