The script could look like this:

	| stream filename image sketch |
	filename := Smalltalk getSystemAttribute: 3.
	stream := FileStream readOnlyFileNamed: filename.
	[image := Form fromBinaryStream: stream] ensure: [stream close].
	sketch := SketchMorph withForm: image.
	sketch openInWorld

and would be called like this:

squeak /full/path/to/my.image /full/path/to/script.st 
/full/path/to/image.jpeg
