Microsoft seems to have this thing with 128-character limits.  I think I've
stumbled across this limit in the WIN.INI file.  I added another program
to the "load=" line (bringing the total up to around 6).  When I restarted
Windows, I got a couple of "Unable to find file..." messages.  After some
fiddling around, I discovered that cutting down the length of the line
would fix it (most of the programs have absolute paths specified... I
finally just removed the ".exe" from all the names).

Anyway, I'm going to have a problem next time I try to add a program
to my load line.  Does anyone know of a way around this limitation?
