Thanks for the example code! Now I think all I need is to find out how  
to launch the code from a terminal window. At http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/1914 
  I found this.

"To initiate external shell processing, evaluate  
''ExternalCommandShell stop'', save the image, and restart with  
''squeak -headless myImage''."

It's not clear to me what will be run when that last command is  
executed from a terminal window. Where would I put code like your  
example code above and how does the squeak command know to execute it?
