Noted. I will do that.

The 

| variable | 

notation doesn't persist beyond !, it seems.

And writing to stdout was what I first did, with 

foo do: [:item| item displayNl] ! instead of [:item| bar << item...],
and just now:

% gst
GNU Smalltalk ready

st> | foo bar |
st> foo := SortedCollection new.
st> foo add: 'one' ; add: 'two' ; add: 'three'.
st> bar := FileStream stdout.
st> foo do: [:item|bar << item ; cr ; nl ]!
one
three
two
O
st>

But it's not the | variable | notation that's the problem:


% gst
GNU Smalltalk ready

st> Smalltalk at: #foo put: (SortedCollection new)!
O
st> foo add: 'one' ; add: 'two' ; add: 'three'!
O
st> Smalltalk at: #bar put: (FileStream stdout) !
O
st> foo do: [:item|bar << item ; cr ; nl ]!
one
three
two
O
st> 

But thanks for the note about |variable| -- I was convinced it didn't
work, but had forgotton to check with an example that wasn't 
sprinkled with ! everywhere.

And the URL. I'll chase that one down now.
