What did I do wrong there?

You omitted all the variables that are part of every class. Try "Class allInstVarNames".

Maybe I need to do a hack then by having a class side object which just
holds a pointer ( not the variable itself ).

No, why?

Note that singletons can always be broken. #initialize can be broken with #basicNew. In fact, everything in Smalltalk can be broken, since there are no private methods. But I wouldn't worry about that.

Now that I understand more, anyway, I agree that the best thing to do is what you were doing in the beginning---but with the class variable names declared correctly based on the output of "Class allInstVarNames".

If you have problems, you can also consider going on the #gnu-smalltalk IRC channel on freenode.net.
