You can't explicitly assign variables to slots, but the allocation is
simple enough - they get allocated in the same order they are declared,
starting with 0.  I can't promise that the allocation order will never
change, but on the other hand I can't imaging why I'd change it.

I have been using the Smalltalk Bot-kit for programming, and I think it's great. But as the code grew, I ran into a Spirit exception, that locks up the port. Anyway, I'll move the code to nqc, but I was taking advantage of a feature I don't see in (...) (28 years ago, 27-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)
