Thanks Andreas.

I assume I same my image with my application running and maximized to hide
the desktop of squeak.
Would I also want to override the close method of the application window so
that the squeak environment shuts down too?

Thanks,
Brian

Sure. For example:

* Rename 'Squeak.exe' to 'MyApp.exe'
* Rename 'Squeak.ini' to 'MyApp.ini'
* Move 'Squeak.image' to 'appdata\MyApp.dat'
* Within MyApp.ini add

[Global]
WindowTitle = My Coolest App
ImageFile = appdata\MyApp.dat

(ImageFile can be relative or absolute, e.g., C:\MyApp\MyApp.dat).

Off you go ;-)
