A short-term solution would be to just add a SQUEAK_TTYS environment 
variable, as this is how configuration is done currently.

OTOH, a config file would be nice, indeed. How about "/etc/squeakrc", 
overridable by a "$(HOME)/.squeakrc"? Or, do we want to have a 
"$(HOME)/.squeak/" directory?

I'm also updating the browser plugin: a lot of people don't use Netscape4
anymore, so the default location in "$(HOME)/.netscape/squeak/" is
inappropriate. I think "$(HOME)/.npsqueak/" would do fine - or should it 
be "$(HOME)/.squeak/npsqueak/" (see above) instead?
