Caution: lowskilled hobbyist anyway: Hi Joseph, Smalltalk garbageCollect does that automatically for you BUT it removes only objects that are not in connection with other objects. So you have to cut loose all connections from other objects to your Book instances. Maybe you have variables within a workspace pointing to some Book instances. Or a list object with references to all of your books. (How do you get to your books?) Even an inspector, explorer or debugger pointing to a Book instance keeps the garbagecollector from removing them. Hope that helps a little

Greetings, The main program I am working on now is called Books. If I evaluate Books allInstances => anOrderedCollection( aBook aBook aBook ) How do I set them all equal to nil like Books removeAllInstances. Books allInstances => anOrderedCollection(). Sincerely, Joseph. _______________________________________________ Beginners mailing list [email protected] http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/beginners _______________________________________________ Beginners mailing list [email protected] http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/beginners
