Right.  But, Michael was trying to preload the things he wanted resident
at startup-sequence time, so he could remove his WB floppy, and not get
asked for it again.

To do that, you need to use rez's "-l" option, and for that to actually
load the programs, you need to be cd'd to the directory they're in.


Question for you Matt ... I see "run" in your above example.  Do you really
make "run" rezident, and if so, have you had any problems?

When I've done that, it has interfered with shell's operation (Steve's v2.07m).
This behavior was also reported here recently by someone else.
