As a recall, the uaf file is protected (and with good reason) against
any old user simply 'opening' it and reading it.  Therefore, for running
images that need to get information (such as mail and phone) one must either
have some additional process privileges OR HAVE THE IMAGE INSTALLED WITH
PRIVILEGES.  I also seem to recall that the default startup procedures for
a MVII DO NOT INSTALL MAIL OR PHONE, and therefore are totally useless to 
default priviliged users.....

	I have, after much munching and chewing of cud, come up with a useful
series of systartup.com and related procedures to install known images, set
up system logicals, etc.... I would be happy to send the to you is you wish,
and to anyone else with any desire for them.
