Then you could run inisqueak in a clean directory of your own and it would copy a fresh image there for you to use. So each user wound up having their own image file, but shared the executeable.

Yes. There are two great things about this script:
1. It is a single command to run Squeak, which is great for Squeak
newbies. You don't have to think about image files, etc. -- just type
inisqueak.
2. It is suitable from running from a menu, so that you can install the
Squeak package and then run it from a menu to try it out.
IMHO, this is such a convenient script that inisqueak should be named
"squeak", and squeak should be named "squeak-vm". But I wouldn't relish
getting into *that* debate, much less dealing with the inconsistency
with other platforms.
