Hi,

Maybe you are right about the garbage collector. This is the first thing I've tried in Smalltalk. I expected the image I saved would have the account details but no, I had to start over again and make a new account. It's not a big deal and I'll try some of the methods of storing data mentioned in other replies.

But be aware that you do not need that. Just have an object that holds references to your objects and then they are not garbage collected, and hence, saving the image is enough.
For example, you can store them in a class side of a class. Say you have MyTutotial class and an calss var 'savedWhatever'. You can then store your root object there and that's all. I will be there when you load the imag again :)
