You can pass (and access) command line arguments in squeak - I do it all
the time in my headless images.

Look at implementers of #getSystemAttribute:

This is what the beginning of my startup method (class-side) looks like:

startUp: resuming

	| parameter |
	resuming
		ifFalse: [^self].

	parameter := Smalltalk getSystemAttribute: 2.
	parameter isNil
		ifTrue: [^self].

	parameter asLowercase = '-runmission'
		ifTrue: [
			self runMission.
			Smalltalk quitPrimitive].

	...

Then you need to register whatever class that method is implemented in:

initialize

	Smalltalk addToStartUpList: self

Run the initialize method, and then save and quit.

Later,
Jon
