You can under os-9 using the command-click popup menu on the squeak  
icon to expose the menu command 'show package contents', then navigate  
down to the MacOSClassic folder and snatch the VM.

If you are using 10.x then you again use command-click on the squeak vm  
and issue the menu command 'show package contents' That will get you a  
new finder window up to navigate the package folder.

If you run os-8.x then you just see the folders.

A package is just the root of a folder with a special layout and it  
looks like an application. A bit in the folder attributes and/or the  
prefix '.app' is used to identify the folder as a package in os-x and  
os9
