Oh yeah, squeak.ini :)

Incidentally, inisqueak is nicely written so that it continues to work
even if it has already been run once -- it will use the image file you
already have.  Thus, newbies might want to use "inisqueak" when they
are getting started.   While everyone can eventually learn about image
files, etc., it's a really dry topic to start with!

Besides, who knows?  Maybe if you start Squeaking today, then you will
never need to understand image files.  In a day not too far away,
maybe everything will be done with exported projects!


Anyway, another nice use of inisqueak is for desktop menu entries.
