	SuperPaint and the MakeStartupScreen program will both create the 
startupScreen itself for you, but you then need a little something to turn it
into a permanent product.  The original item for doing this was called Startup
Desk and was written by Darin Adler.  Since then a number of other items have
come put which either use Darin's INIT or do the job themselves such as 
Randomizer.  More than likely these are all availble in the sumex Archives.
(NOTE: This procedure will work on any NON-MAC ][.  If you have a Mac ][, then
there is a different procedre for doing StartupScreen!)
