Well, I'm the author of ProcessBrowser, and perhaps I can help...

You can't use just the ProcessBrowser by itself. Under MVC, you also have to 
have the DeferredActionStandardSystemController.

An important skill if you're playing with majorShrink is to examine the 
global dictionary Undeclared.

You can run:

	Smalltalk cleanOutUndeclared.
	Undeclared inspect.

and see what's left. Inspect "objects pointing to" the various entries.

My guess is that you have a reference to 
DeferredActionStandardSystemController in Undeclared.

If you leave a Transcript open when you file in code, you'll see messages like
	(DeferredActionStandardSystemController is Undeclared)
go by.

Another thought is that it may be a bit early for you to be playing with the 
ProcessBrowser if you're unfamiliar with Smalltalk. To get processes to work 
right, you have to use Semaphores, SharedQueues, etc...

If you just want a system to learn from, you'd be better off (in my opinion) 
to use a full system, but just not look at, say, Morphic (though the 
programming model of the MVC stuff isn't much simpler). Just ignore all the 
menu items and classes you don't understand.
