I've heard that this doesn't do anything--it's just a little logo to tell you
it's there. There's some way to make it ALWAYS appear (without you having to
hold down OA & Option) that has something to do with setting the auxType
of one of the system files to the hex values for RT, or something like that.
You can also you this to make the text startup screen always appear. I'm sure
someone will post saying which file it is you have to play with....
