I am using Smalltalk V/PM now. I met a problem to find a instance of a class. For example, when I want to delete a class, the system tells me that there is some instances of that class so that I cannot delete that class. But I inspect the Smalltalk(System Dictionary) and couldnot find the instances of that class. I donot know where they are stored. Now because of too many instances of some window class, the system speed degraded quickly. It is always doing some swap between memory and disk. Is there any experts can help me Would you tell me how I can find a instance of a class(the name) and where they are stored? (when I used the method "allInstances" to that class, it returns an Array of instances of that class, but it is no use because I donot know what is their name and I cannot delete them.) I cannot do anything because it takes 5 minutes to open a window now. Would you reply as soon as possible? My e-mail is: wangw@ul.ie. Thank you!

This will close all open windows and create a new empty transcript. You should save any data in any windows that are currently open if you have made any changes in any open window. James W.
