thanks Bert, with the help of a friend (Paul) I have this working now

To set startupInUntrustedDirectory preference in botsInc smalltalk image

bring up the world menu  (middle click on world/desktop - click on red menu
halo)
click on desktop menu...

click on help ...
click on preferences...

click on security category up the top (blue background)
check box startInUntrustedDirectory

now open -----  file...   will show a list of files in the directory
you specified in the ini file
and bot workspace  ----- 'save contents'    will save in that directory
