General hodge podge of useful/essential procedures for running the base GENIE.
Generally these mix Smalltalk with GCL to get the job done!
Careful when editing this as the are some subtle dependencies between these very basic procedures. Undefined variables after a complete load are often the result of getting somthing wrong here!
