So I played a while and the magic program seems to be
squeakconsole.exe, not squeak.exe.

It's shipped with the VM so you have it if you have a windows install.

Good news, squeakconsole -help will look very familiar to those of us
who use linux.  And it matches kind of the documentation here from
2006:

https://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/105

Not good news is that -headless, while accepted, does nothing special
*for me*.

NB:  I am running this on that invention of the devil called a
Windows Corporate Desktop.  When you breath slightly wrong you run
into some GPO limitation or some installed monitoring program
limitation.  I can see why the idea that something runs in the
background might make the security folks twitchy so your results might
differ.

Tim, could you ask your friend to try

squeakconsole.exe -headless insertyourimagehere.image

and see what happens?

Thanks.
