Hi...
I d like to know if there is a way to force garbage collection of
objects (still referenced)...
A still referenced object is never garbage-collected. You must cut
the reference first, that is, write another object (like nil) into
the variable that references your object.
Since it is a bit unpredictable *when* the garbage collector will
collect your object after it is not referenced anymore, you can force
a GC by "Smalltalk garbageCollect". However, this is mostly useful as
an aid in debugging. Only when doing very specific tasks it is
necessary to force a GC by code.
