I would like that too! However, I think there are additional problems  
with starting scripts on the Mac. Simple things that work for me under  
Windows do not work on the Mac. When started this way on a Mac, at  
least for me, Squeak doesn't respond to mouse events and doesn't run  
the script. The GUI comes up, but that's it. I have to kill the process.
