That's quite an old stage manual, the one corresponding to version 4 can 
be found at [1].  Those docs are somewhat out of date as well, they're 
missing the documentation for the "usegui" config file option.

To use Stage with Player without the GUI, you can add the config file 
option usegui 0 to the stage driver's simulation interface in the Player 
config file, underneath where you specify the worldfile name.
