Following up to my recent question about installing ConMan as part of the
startup-sequence:

I now have most of it working thanks to the help of several people.
The approach I took was to create a startup-sequence like this:

mount vd0:
dir >nil: vd0:
s:conman
run wait 3+
newcli from s:start2 con:0/0/672/215/CLI
endcli >nil:

This runs my startup details from "start2" and also regains 1> for my
main CLI window.

Only two minor problems remain. I've done some investigation on them, but
as yet haven't figured them out:

1. The program I wrote, incorporating stuff from ConPackets, to find the
   console window and make it borderless doesn't have any effect. I need to
   look at it more to see if I did something wrong, unless anybody knows any
   obvious reason why it won't work

2. I use a replacement Echo command that takes options that allow control
   of background/foreground colors, typeface, underline, etc.
   When I use it with my new startup this program goes bananas and spews
   garbage on the screen continuously, without stopping. I don't know
   what combination of events is causing this. If anyone is familiar with
   this program (author Larry Phillips) and knows why this happend and if
   ther is some way of fixing it, I'd appreciate some advice.
