Paul Kopp's desire to autorun a BASIC program might be easiest to satisfy by
using Turbo BASIC or FrOst BASIC.  A compiled program can be autorun by
the method described in the Turbo BASIC documentation.  I think you name the
runtime system AUTORUN.SYS and name the compiled BASIC program AUTORUN.CTB
or something.

Other than that, there have from time to time been articles in the various
Atari magazines telling how to do this with standard Atari BASIC, including
type-in programs etc.  I'll see if I can find a reference.
