[comp.sys.next] Starting up applications automatically

Recently someone posted a hack which will give a user program control before
the Workspace Manager starts. What I want to do is get control afterwards
so that I can start a bunch of windows whenever I log in (put a window
for the VAX here, and a window for Emacs there,...). I've tried RTFM
but I can't find anything that helps.

Is there some startup or initialization file that the Workspace Manager
looks for? If not, is there some hack which will let me start up a
bunch of windows like this? Hacking the defaults database doesn't sound
too appetizing, because I don't want this to happen to just anybody (reads,
it's a public machine).
