This was a documentation oversite. The startupscreen can be disabled by
pressing the shift-key while selecting personal preferences from the
Customize Menu.

Version 11 that was just announced eliminates this oversite by removing
the need to use the shift key to enable that item. So you will be
able to remove the startup screen easily if you upgrade to version 11.

If you have other questions, I'll see what I can do here. Though I am on
GEnie in the Freesoft RT more than here. Though I try to read and keep
up here, sometimes its difficult..
