SYNTAX

Flush

DESCRIPTION

The Flush command clears the MPW Shell's tool cache. The tool cache speeds execution by keeping the most recently used tools in memory. However, there are times when you do not want the tools to be in the cache. For example, you cannot run a tool and then delete it because the Finder will report that the tool is busy. You might also want to flush the cache when running benchmarks or timing tool performance.
