[comp.sys.atari.st] CODEKEYS hmm

Well, my hopes were dashed.  Thought i'd be able to use
CODEKEYS autorun macro to mark *.acc's to *.acx's and 
vice versa  when installing partitions with SOFTLINK.  

What i dicovered (and should have realized) is that while
you CAN use CODEKEYS to open your C:\ and change acc's to acx's
etc.. you CAN NOT have change the directory (ie: added or deleted
files) nor can you have changed the window size and shape..
since CODEKEYS works on x and y coordinates.. if happen to add
or delete a file ..or if you change the window shape/size or
placement on the desktop, CODEKEYS will pick a different file-
whatever happens to be at those coordinates and change it!..

SO... i can't use it as a substitute for Superboot.  Superboot
doesn't work for me becasue it fails to run when booting 
partitions other than the first.  

Anybody have any suggestions on how I can paste together a
program that will allow me to configure distinct desktops 
under SOFTLINK and have these desktops loaded from bootup?


Thanks

Do you have SUPERBTA.PRG in your AUTO folder?  This allows SuperBoot 
to run after a reset or warmboot, according to the docs.
