Yes I did.  My downloads folder is ~/Downloads.
My Squeak folder is ~/Squeak.
Safari downloaded Squeak6.0-22101-64bit-All-in-One.zip to Dowenloads,
unpacked it to ~/Downloads/Squeak6, and moved the zip to the trash folder
(~/.Trash)
I moved Squeak6 to Squeak ($ mv ~/Downloads/Squeak6 ~/Squeak) and ran it
there.

Look, the issue isn't whether I can do the right thing or not.  The issue
is that new users on the Mac will download via the website, likely just as
I did, and they will get something that doesn't work.  So instead of
telling me what the right thing to do is, update the Web site so that
people going there can do the right thing.
