You CANNOT start a program that accesses any part of GEM from bootup 
AUTO folder.  GEM is initialize after the AUTO folder programs are run.

However there is a solution, but I have not tried it with UniTerm.  There
is a program (I think it was posted to the net) that is called something
like GEMSTART.  I don't exactly know how it works, or what limitation are
put on it ( if someone out there know, please post it) but it should do
the trick.
