Here's how you package an application for release in ST/V:
   1) In NotificationManager>>startupSampleApplication (this is from 
memory - I may be wrong), add code to start up your window.
   2) In your application's close method, add code to shutdown Smalltalk 
(Smalltak exit).
   3) Save the application
   4) Run the application by running v.exe instead of running vw.exe with 
v.exe as the parameter.

Good Luck.
