Sig, Thanks for the quick reply. I finished my thought, which might help you figure out what I'm missing. As an aside, I would like to identify and finalize the Outlook hotkey that launched that email before I was ready - I've never seen Outlook do *anything* that fast.

Hello all,
I have started to port some of my code that relies on Dolphin's finalization. Â The idea is that one sends #beFinalizable to the object requiring finalization. Â Dolphin sets a flag on the object (in its header??) that the vm later notices.
a rough analogy is something like that: Object>>beFinalizable "A shallow copy of the receiver will receive a #finalize message, once the receiver become garbage" WeakRegistry default add: self
