Hi Bert

Making a launcher with the command
squeak -vm-sound-OSS
then clicking on the launcher does not open any image at all.

I am attaching the etoys.sh script from etoys.app
its different than yours.

I tried adding -image myImage.image to the etoys command.
I am getting a can't move to directory/file not present error.

I've tried several variations but haven't hit on the right one yet.
