Holding down OA-Option (no Control needed) shows the nice ExpressLoad
in the welcome box, but that's all. ExpressLoad is automatically
loaded if you have 768K or more memory. A program has to have a
special ExpressLoad header for it to be loaded quickly though... The
Finder and AppleWorks GS are two programs that are Expressed
[actually, most new GS programs are expressed these days, but those
two are probably more commonly used].

Also, if you set the auxtype of the ExpressLoad file to $5254, the
ExpressLoad graphic will automatically appear. 
$5254 == 'RT' => 'Rob Turner'??
