The code for handling the monitors directory was nice. So...

Just a couple of things I've done to make it more convenient to configure
stuff under 2.0. I was already quite pleased with the test for and execution
of "s:user-startup" to keep "s:startup-sequence" clean. I've created a user
startup file that looks like:

.bra {
.ket }

echo "User configuration 1 Sep 90"
list >ram:t/rc-temp s:rc/#?.rc nohead lformat="execute %s%s"
execute ram:t/rc-temp
echo "Completed user configuration"

Then in s:rc:

Directory "System2.0:S/rc" on Friday 01-Sep-78
work.rc                       92 ----rwed Today     20:48:07
dmcs.rc                       77 ----rwed Today     20:48:22
tetrix.rc                     69 ----rwed Today     20:48:40
manx.bak                     294 ----rwed Today     20:56:46
uucp.rc                      568 ----rwed Today     20:56:55
manx.rc                      307 ----rwed Today     21:02:30
6 files - 13 blocks used

As an example, s:rc/uucp.rc:

.bra {
.ket }
;
; Matt Dillon's UUCP setup
;
;
; TMP: is used by DCron

if exists work:uucp
  echo "Installing UUCP assignments"
  stack 8192
  assign UUCP: work:uucp

  Assign TMP: ram:
  Assign UUSPOOL: UUCP:Spool
  Assign UULIB: UUCP:Lib
  Assign UUMAIL: UUCP:Mail
  Assign UUNEWS: UUCP:News
  Assign UUPUB: UUCP:Pub
  Assign UUPUBW: UUCP:Pub
  Assign Getty: UUCP:Lib
  Assign UUMan: UUCP:man
  mount null:
  mount uuser:

  path uucp:c add

  echo "Starting Getty and DCron"
  run >nil: <nil: Getty -B1200 -Mh -7
  wait 4
  run >nil: <nil: dcron T:dcron.log
endif

Now if this could be set up in the default 2.x configuration it'd become a
snap to install programs. People would still have to edit mountlist, but
that isn't order dependent.
