Where is the entry point?

Completely novice question...

Since I don't have the pro version of Dolphin (yet), I don't have a
good idea of how the final EXE is made. I'd imagine that the Worksheet
acts as the entry point, but I have no way of confirming this. But,
it's also possible that there is a specific object that gets created on
startup? Could someone give me a rough idea of what the entry point to
a ST application is?

Thanks!

When you deploy an application you would usually add an extra class as a
subclass of RuntimeSessionManager (or ConsoleSessionManager) and you can
specify this class as part of the deployment process.  This class should
have a #main method and that will normally be your entry point.  If needed
you can access the command line from there and would then, normally, open up
your main Shell view.

Dolphin apps kick off in SessionManager. The application level entry point
is effectively the #main method, which is called on the main UI thread. If
you want to understand the whole startup sequence start browsing from
SessionManager>>onStartup:. Bear in mind that if you modify this, you might
very well render your image unstartable and have to start with a new one.
