	Back in August of 1989, Amazing Computing previewed AmigaDos 1.4
and had the following feature:
	"STARTUP DRAWER - Any icon in the startup drawer is executed when
WB is loaded. This means if you purchase a program that needs to be run
automatically, such as a reminder program, you just drag the startup icon
into the startup drawer. Nice!"
	So, I think that this feature was made public.
