I've had previous experience with C and most recently Perl, but I cannot figure out how to create an application using squeak or smalltalk.  I've downloaded squeak and started it's IDE environment and began the initial tutorial's, and found the workspace very interesting.  So, my question is how does one create an application in the smalltalk environment and run it from a command line - I run most of my programs on a Linux platform.

You can name a script on the command line, as well. It will be invoked at 
startup time. So you could do something in the script, and then quit Squeak:

Contents of myScript.st:
----
self beep.
Smalltalk snapshot: false andQuit: true.
----

and then run Squeak with its name:

squeak -headless myLittle.image myScript.st
