Just to clarify my earlier posting -- It's obvious that you need to maintain an index into the list yourself, and then store that somewhere else to maintain an index into the list, but: Boss seems to work unreliably; sometimes it will read the data correctly, and other times it bombs, but it will generally read it correctly if you do a simple next for the first item before you try to access it in a random fashion; I was wondering if anyone out there had run into this problem, or whether I am doing something wrong. Also, Boss doesn't release memory correctly; one fix is to add a release method; another is to add the line ^nil as the last line in Object>>release (although neither of these has been studied extensively by ParcPlace)...
