I am having some problems with a number of files I have downloaded
from terminator (atari.archive.umich.edu). Any help would be
appreciated. Please reply via email.

1) genesis.tos - puts up blank white screen but doesn't appear to
	do anything else.

2) magic - puts up sparkling colors when mouse moves. Unfortunately,
	these appear in two places, neither of which is near the
	mouse cursor.

3) quartet - drops three bombs. This one I don't care that much
	about since it appears to be an advertisement.

I also have some general questions:

	o How can I specify the order of execution of programs
		in my auto folder?

	o Can someone give me a comprehensive explanation of
		GDOS? I have a copy of it but have no idea
		what should be in the assign.sys file. Is
		GDOS only relevant if you are running certain
		applications?

I have a 1040 ST running TOS 1.4 with a color monitor (SC1224).
Pretty standard stuff. I'm sure there are simple explanations
for my problems (at least I hope so). Thanks for any help.
