Hi Dave,

Thanks for the reply.

I'm thinking I don't care about it.

I'm sure I knew this but you pointing it out got me to realize that any time my Squeak program
exits it will only be restarted with a reboot of the Raspberry.  Given that and that I don't
save the image, rebooting should clean up everything to a fresh start, including the GPIO pins.
So, I will avoid all the Squeak shutdown code and just exit with the primitive.

Agreed.

Thanks again, Dave.
