There are several possibilities.

First, you may be able to just save your image in an interesting
configuration.  Keep in mind that when the image starts, it starts
*exactly* where it left off.


Second, as a variation, you can save your image like this (do all this
code together):

	Smalltalk snapshot: true andQuit: false.
	self inform: 'Hello, world.'


Third, you can use addToStartUpList: to register any object that
understands startUp:; that object's startUp: method will be invoked
every time the system starts.  (Look in "snapshot and quit" under class
SystemDictionary for details).
