newbie question: poolDictionaries

Two questions, actually


1) in the following definition:

Object subclass: #SomeSubclass
	instanceVariableNames: ''
	classVariableNames: 'A B'
	poolDictionaries: ''
	category: 'Some-Category'

what are poolDictionaries ?


2) if I subclass SomeSubclass like this:

SomeSubclass subclass: #SomeSubSubclass
	instanceVariableNames: ''
	classVariableNames: ''
	poolDictionaries: ''
	category: 'Some-Category'


it appears that the class variables A and B are shared by both classes. Is 
it possible to have some kind of a class variable that can store different 
values along the inheritance chain ? (e.g. A is 5 in SomeSubclass and A is 
'hello' in SomeSubSubclass)

if not, how do you get this behaviour ?


I guess I'm missing something here :)
