>> Any chance the start file is just in the wrong place? I am not sure about the actions you are describing, or about your question. But here is an experiment I am running while typing this message. From a started shell started from DirectoryOpus, I did a cd to the directory data:medical. In that directory is a data base of medical bills, and a program called start.sbp. I loaded SB4 (with the command prod:superbasepro4/sbpro4). SB started and waited for me to enter a command. When I asked to open a file, I was in the directory specified by S:superbase.ini (data:). I entered a go command for a program (in case the start.sbp program had loaded, but not run. I got the open program requester. I selected start.sbp in the directory data:medical. I got the screen setup that should have come up automatically at startup. (Note: Data: and Prod: are assigns to various directories on my hard disk) Incidently, I just did a status, and it shows conclip, arq (the requester program), and wwwwtimer (from Who, What, When, Where) running. My startup sequence does not start any jobs running, except DirectoryOpus, which is currently running in the background. I also am running DisDF, to quiet my floppies. I have 512 K of chip memory and 2.5 meg of ram, and a 105 meg Quantum in a Trumpcard 500. Bill Roberts in Ellettsville In. via Whap!
