Ok, Keith had reported the issue below about opening the image from the cmd line, and where is the current working directory anyway?
I had made a change to the mac carbon VM to avoid changing the current working directory as part of the 3.8.19beta2U release.
Then Keith reported the image did opened, but it did not respond to the mouse or clicking.
In checking to see what the problem is I determined it's related to the use of the symbolic link, this confuses the carbon/cocoa bundler manager so that when you ask for the main bundle and fetch the data from the XML info.plist file, it can't find the info.plist
Normally argv[0] would be ./MySqueak.app/Contents/MacOS/Squeak VM Opt, but the symbolic link makes it ./squeak and apparently GetMainBundle relies on argv[0] and decides it's not a proper bundle, however to play nice it makes a fake one, which later we query for information and find nothing.
Now over the years as the info.plist has grown in most cases we provided an default value if we couldn't find the data, but it seems when we changed the mouse mapping a few years back to solve issues with mouse/cmd key mappings between native squeak and squeak from the browser we managed to *forget* adding defaults, which default to zero which mean mouse clicks aren't recorded.
I could add a table of default values, but I'm afraid that would hide the fact the info.plist is not being read and drive someone else quite crazy as they've change the info.plist, but it's being ignored... Certainly for now the fact it doesn't work becomes obvious right away.
So I'll suggest some shell scripting could be used to do the right thing.

It requires a full path the to image, it cannot open an image in the PWD is this expected behaviour?
