The first thing that comes to mind: backups that you hopefully made (see the
Wiki for instructions if you're not sure how to do it); ordinarily with
something like this I restore a clean system from a backup that I make
before starting something that I think might go wrong. If that's not an
option or you simply want to try to fix it, you might be able to edit the
resource to restore the default value to fix it "for next time", or you
might define String>>showStatus to answer self(???) though that could just
as easily get into trouble a couple of message sends later than what you
have now. It's also possible that you have a zombie view, and that the
scream/panic button on the system folder will fix it - note that you should
save any text in workspaces etc. before panicing the image.
Have a good one,
Bill
