It's easy-

First, add a #shutDown method on the class-side of your class.
and then execute "Smalltalk addToStartUpList: YourClass."

There's also a #addToShutDownList: if you need a method called when the
image is shutting down.  Just throw on a #shutDown method on the class
side.

Also of interest may be SystemDictionary>>#addToShutDownList:after:
and SystemDictionary>>#addToStartUpList:after: which do the same thing,
but allow you to have some order in which they occur.

Regards,
Aaron
