	I would assume that Uniterm looks for the .inf file in the the
"current directory" (cwd for unix folks). When using GEMSTART the current
directory is either 1 of two things.
	1. if you have any windows open according to desktop.inf, then
	   cwd is the top most window.
	2. if you have no windows open according to desktop.inf, then
	   cwd is the root directory of the boot device.
	Try making up a disk with no windows open, and sticking uniterm
	and its files at the root. This should work fastest.
