Hokay, I'm sure that these are questions that have been dealt with before,
so don't post answers to the net. Please mail to me, and if you want a copy
of the answers I get, mail that to me also and I'll respond.
(Also, I'm about to go on vacation and will miss posted answers anyway, since
we have a 6-day roll-over on news.)
1. Is there any way to make a double-clicked icon execute the Amigados version
of a shell script?
2. Is there any way to make the startup-sequence RUN workbench programs such
as "pm" from the Extras 1.2 file and still finish and yield up control to me?
(In other words, I want my system disk to boot with the clock running on
screen...)

First a general suggestion, go to the nearest bookstore and pick up a copy of Amazing Computing. In the back you will find a list of the Fish disks complete with program descriptions. A program called IconEXEC or something similar is on one that ties a script file to an icon. >2.

Yes, there is a program called RUNBACK availble on another Fish disk that does just this. I use it to start up DropShadow in my startup-sequence. -- "Truth is false and logic lost..." - Neil Peart (who at the time didn't realize he was talking about RU) lachac@topaz.rutgers.edu <--------OR--------> {seismo|ames}!rutgers!topaz!lachac
