Please try this: 

cogvm --version

It all made sense to Ken. And I don’t suppose he figured this would be for general use. And I guess I’d gotten used to it, as I’ve installed it on three systems. 
I’ll change the script from “cogvm" to “squeak”, which is what people would reasonably expect. 
It’s a great point. Thank you for raising it. I’ll make a new one.
