+    When smalltalk is started as IDE (stx), the show starts in Smalltalk>>start.
+    In contrast, when a standAlone app is linked, 
+    the show starts in the startup class's start method.
+
+    This class is a subclassable template class for a standalone headless-application's startup.
+    For your own stand alone programs, define a subclass of this, 
+    and redefine the #main: method there.
+    (of course, the other methods can also be redefined.)
