[Vm-dev] Howto invoke plugin primitive from Interpreter?

[John M McIntosh]

Well as already noted I've code that does what you want if you want  
to do it in the vm.

via http://www.smalltalkconsulting.com/squeak.html

look on my idisk, or ftp site (I think) in the experimental folder,  
then the MessageLoggingVM folder.

David T Lewis also gave me code to enable the use of SIGNALS via  
OSProcess plugin to let you use the unix signal
logic to turn on/off tracing and modify what it was doing.
