  Every time I ever make a change to a new startup-sequence, it refuses to
close the cli window upon booting unless I press RETURN. For instance, I just
installed a new hard drive today, and changed the 'addbuffers df0: 10' to
'addbuffers df1: 30'. Now, when it boots, I have to press return for the
cli window to disappear!

  How do I fix this for good?

I to had this problem when I first started using the editor AZ.

After a little investigation I discovered that if I pressed return after the 
last line of the startup-sequence I had the problem you described above. 
Apparently the editor puts some sort of character on that line (LF, EOL ?)
and the amiga tries to execute it on startup, causing the CLI to hang open 
return is pressed. 

So, to anwser your question (assuming you have the same problem I did) don't 
press return after the last line of your startup-sequence and make sure that
last line is really the last line. It works for me.

Disclaimer: I'm really not sure if my discription of what the amiga is doing
correct but it seems to make some sort of sense to me. If anyone knows better
please fill us in.
