This one is something of a FAQ, so don't forget to look at the Squeak 
FAQ page on the swiki at:

http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/471

See in particular these questions:

# Why shouldn't I create an executable?
# Okay, okay. But how can I make an executable?
# How can I make my application start when Squeak starts?
# Can I run scripts without the Graphical User Interface?
# How do I prepare my application for distribution?
