I am using Smalltalk/V on a Mac and am having difficulty removing unnamed instances of a class. The removal of all instances is a necessity before Smalltalk allows you to modify the class' instance variables. Named instances are easily removed by reassigning their values to nil. I cannot find a way to do this if an instance has not specifically been named. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. -------------------------------------------------------- -- Edgar Kalns -- -- E-mail: kalns@cps.msu.edu -- --------------------------------------------------------

This will take care of the problem, but aware that all the text you have in your worksheet will disappear so save anything you want to save around in a file.
