Sorry... probably 'symbol' isn't the right word, since as far as I
know, something like #aSymbol doesn't have any value other than it's
own identity.
What I really want is a named constant that has a value. Like
iAmAConstant = 5. Is there such a thing in Smalltalk?

I want to eliminate a 'magic number' used by methods in a single

available to all the methods in the class. Where and how should I
create such a symbol? I can't seem to find an example anywhere.
Thanks: John
