Re: [Oorexx-devel] Package unloader not run ?

[Rick M. <obj...@gm...>]

The interpreter instance becomes inactive when you terminate it.  You
create the instance, you do something with it, when you are finished,
you terminate it.  If that's the last active instance, then the global
environment is shutdown.
