WEll.. I hadn't known about the 2091 being 100% automounting. Thanks
for the tip... Hm... see, I've only had my trumpcard, so, it
seemed like the logical way to go. 
 
People have asked me, "Why dont you just attach a script to 
an icon and have it execute that script?"

I tell them that the reason is because you never know what memory 
is going where except at the very beginning. Take Gomf2.0 for instance.
Amax I and  II will not run when this is already installed, thats
why I have it call it up at the beginning...
 
I'm sorry if I mislead any of you - but, what i did DOES work
for those non-automounting systems... Someone made a terrific
suggestion, though, how to do it in 2.0... so, when I get a
chance I'll see if I can try it out...
 
Sorry, again.
