A very good idea.

I Use a system where I try to keep track of the location and type of every
type of port and tty I have logged in from.  That way, the system knows where
I am, and where my printer closest to me is.  I run a sh subshell from .login
to run `/bin/tty` through a case statement, unless the REMOTEHOST var is set.
However, it truely a hack, and I will have to keep changing it with each new
op system.

I had not thought that there would be only one console, so only the .login run
from console would startup workspace.

Anyway, I prefer to startup workspace by hand, at least for myself.

Thanks for your note.
