Ah! :-) Windows-specific quirks ahead. :-D

This works fine:
./SqueakConsole.exe -- --evaluate '3+4'


This locks up the image (i.e. no clock tick):
./Squeak.exe -- --evaluate '3+4'




And all combinations with an actual image name end up in ProjetLauncher >> startUpAfterLogin (via AutoStart):
./Squeak.exe Squeak-Trunk-32bit.image --evaluate '3+4'

./SqueakConsole.exe Squeak-Trunk-32bit.image --evaluate '3+4'




This locks up the image but clock keeps ticking:
./SqueakConsole.exe -- --debug


(Note that "Attach tools to mouse cursor" preference is enabled. ^__^)

Best,
Marcel

Hi Dave.

Maybe this change set helps. :-) Well ... that "--debug" still seems fishy. You must go past "Project" to show any interactive debugger. Why would "Delay" be enough? Hmmm... Still playing around with it. :-)

This does not work:

./Squeak.exe Squeak-Trunk-32bit.image --evaluate 3+4




Best,
Marcel

At the moment, you leak the implementation details #reevaluateDebug and #reevaluateCwd outside DoItFirst. With just this little indirection, that leak would disappear:

I think I am misunderstanding this, but as you earlier suggested I should
write something for the wiki to explain how it works (or should work).
