Question from a new user, What command sequence do I need to use to get my system to run a program upon boot-up. What file must the program reside in and what are the specific keystrokes. I'm looking to run initprinter now, but shareware/freeware programs in the future. I own a vanilla HD 2000. Thanks in advance, Mitch

Upon boot the Amiga reads (and executes) a file called "Startup-Sequence" that is located in the "S" directory of the boot disk (be it floppy or a hard disk). Get your favorite editor and just edit the file till your happy. It accepts the exact same commands (syntax, ext) that you would use from the CLI.
