Here is what I want to do. A Mac has 3 partitions: first one has the
system folder, second one has a backup copy of the system folder, and
the last one is scratch space. I want to be able to do the following
upon startup:

	1. Check that partion 1 and partion 2 are identical (note:
	   partition 2 is write-locked).
	2. Check for viruses in partion 1 and 2 (run some applications
	   like SAM or Disinfectant).
	3. Erase all files in partion 3.
	4. Issue key sequences to automatically log into to a Novell
	   Lan. 

All of these can be done manually, but I would like a script file that
will do all of these upon startup, preferrably without hitting a key
stroke. The key sequences will be in some sort of a file which is read
in upon startup or upon pressing a single function key. I have looked
into FKey that I obtained from sumex-aim.stanford.edu, but I do not
know if that will do the job. I am also looking into Quickeys, and
have asked for some info on that from the vendor. Is there any other
software for recording key sequences?
