	Sounds like what you want to do is put Handhsake into the Startup-
Sequence on that disk, rather than play with boot blocks. Startup-Sequence
is a screipt file in your S: directory that gets executed each time that
disk is booted. All you have to do is go in with your favorite text editor
and change it to run your program.
