It was. You wrote to the stream and changed the position. You read from
that position. What did you want to have happen?

"Allotted space"? Do you mean the size of the Collection initially fed to
the stream? The stream will expand it as necessary (usually by doubling).

Otherwise, I'm not sure what you mean.

Note that you can have muliple streams on the same collection.

Try:

	(((WriteStream on: '') nextPutAll: 'willExpand') 
			       nextPutAll: ' a
lot') contents

You need to explain your needs a bit better for me. I don't understand
what you're trying to do.
