I'm not quite sure what you're looking for, but Smalltalk is
entirely disconnected from the file-based model. There are no
underlying files for your classes, unless you explicitly save them,
such as for passing them on to other people or the like. And if you
do that, they're not connected in any way to your running code,
they're just filed-out copies of the state of the code at that
moment.
