RE: auto execute order

From my experience, the order of programs in auto folder being
executed are the modified time of each program. The 'oldest'
one runs first and the 'youngest' one last. A simple experiment
can prove this:

Find an auto folder with serveral programs in it already, or
just copy a few programs into it if it's empty. Use the
SHOW INFO menu in DESKTOP to change filenames to modified
the file time stamp, the order of programs being executed
can be changed.
