    I feel a bit ashamed of blowing my own horn like this, but my
"MIND" reminders program includes a feature whereby as you exit any
program you can: 
   a) hold down a pre-selected key to transfer directly to another
      program (this is your "runlist")  
or 
   b) transfer to an arbitrary program
      via a standard file dialog.
    This can be done as the system boots up skipping the initial 
visit to Finder.

    Unfortunately, the version of MIND last posted to usenet was rather 
obsolete & buggy, and I can't get through to mod.mac.  Does
net.sources.mac still get distributed?  I'll post there if I get some
requests.
