[Cuis-dev] Cuis Smalltalk Issues

[Hernan Wilkinson]

Hi Mark,
 By default Cuis creates a .user.changes file every time to start the
image, but you can disable that (as I did :-) ).
 Also, by default it creates a .log file every time there is an error and
you can disable that too, as I did :-)
 Here is how to disable that:

Preferences disable: #autoNumberUserChanges.
Preferences disable: #logDebuggerStackToFile.

Cheers!
Hernan.
