No worries.

I should look at why the VM does not support both indexed and named iVars -- SmalltalkAgents did.

The Ropes code would be much smaller if one could subclass String and override #at: and #at:put: .

Lack of time IS the problem. 

Thanks for taking the time !!!


On another front, I have been looking at the Morphic Designer code.  Took a quick look at the Signals implementation.  Wow! What a HUGE amount of code/mechanism.  Clearly ported from C++.   8^(

Anyway, back to experiments.  Thinking of GUI building is getting me to read more of the system code -- good for my education!

Cheers,
