Can the process of command line argument be deferred after start up. 
There are scenraii where it is much more handy to have command line 
script file instead of configuration code inside a package.

I tried with the exact same 2019 VM as you and it failed.

So I created an empty 'test' working directory with only links to Fonts 
and drgeo code and the Cuis image and source. Build the image from there 
it can be reloaded. Move the image in Cuis-Smalltalk-Dev then it does 
not restart. Building again from Cuis-Smalltalk-Dev, it can't be 
restarted, moving the image to the empty 'test' directory it can be 
restarted again.

So something wrong in Cuis-Smallltalk-Dev that prevent the built image 
to restart.

I ran the VM with -trace argument: on a not fully functioning image, I 
see no message from VectorGraphics while I see plenty of when the image 
runs correctly.
