Probably you want to create a 'launcher', in the style of DrScheme.exe.
DrScheme.exe is just a bootstrap program that calls MrEd.exe with
appropriate arguments.

There are two styles of launchers, those for MzScheme and those for MrEd.
Which of those you use depends on whether you need graphical stuff
in your program.

Look up 'launcher' in Help Desk for more information.

Your launcher will still require Scheme code to work, either in text 
form or compiled into .zo files.  Unfortunately, there's no simple way to 
create a standalone .EXE file from Scheme source.
