This has come up before, but....
     Programs placed in the AUTO folder are run during the boot process
*before* GEM has fully initialized.  Uniterm needs GEM, which explains
the bombs.  I use the following program to autostart GEM applications
(can't remember where I got it just at the moment).  Simply place
STARTGEM.PRG in your AUTO folder, and use a disk editor to change the
filename in the program to whatever you want to autostart.  (The
following copy will look for Uniterm in the root directory of A:.)  Your
GEM application will start up after initialization is complete and
the desktop has appeared.
