Hi, all do not think that i am drunk or vent crazy, asking such silly question, which at best should be asked only by beginner :) I know the answer: Smalltalk at: #SomeName or Smalltalk globals at: #SomeName what stroke me, just now, that both answers is wrong! It should be: #SomeName asGlobal (or suggest more appropriate/precise method name for a symbol) optionally, we could also have one, with handling absent case: #SomeName asGlobalIfAbsent: [] same , but only if present: #SomeName asGlobalIfPresent: [:global | ] Currently, there is 941 references to 'Smalltalk' global in my pharo image. If we introduce this convenience method, it will shrink this number considerably, not saying that code will be more elegant and concise compare: (Smalltalk globals at: #Foo) doSomething and #Foo asGlobal doSomething P.S. What really strikes me is why we don't have such method from very beginning, and instead refer to 'Smalltalk' all over the places. Some things are so deeply indoctrinated in our minds, that we don't even think that it can be different. -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko.
