Saving upon exit

Smalltalk User Guide : Getting started : System architecture : Saving an image to keep components loaded : Saving upon exit

Saving upon exit

To prevent you from losing unsaved changes when you exit the image, the system always prompts you to save the image before exiting:
$C:\Users\documentation\Documents\vastePublisher\stable\VAS Documentation Word\images\tparcs04.gif$

You can select Yes to save the image and exit, No to exit without saving the image, or Cancel to cancel the exit request.

Exiting VA Smalltalk without saving your image can be a useful tool if your work has led to a stream of development that you want to abandon. If you exit without saving the image, your image is restored to the last image save.
