75 Files are loaded one after the other. After the last one is loaded,
76 Smalltalk will exit. If no files are specified, Smalltalk reads from
77 the terminal, with prompts.
78
79 In the second form, the file after -f is the last loaded file; any
80 parameter after that file is passed to the Smalltalk program.
