Hi,

:-)

    Just to set the record straight, I am not trying to pick on a victim,
weak or strong ;-)

    I am simply learning a wonderful tool that will help me in learning the
Squeak Micro Kernel Image available, hopefully, after we have a module
system in place.

    While you are at it, maybe you want to look at
PluggableListMorphOfMany's when it's neighbors resize.

    Many thanks to all who gave us RB and SmallLint. Please keep up with the
excellent work.

    Cheers,

    PhiHo.
