YES! Excellent idea!

Unless problems crop up with this method, I would like to see something
like this recommended by CBM as a standard. Perhaps a mention in the next
AmigaMail? The sooner something like this is done the better - the stories
of lost sales because of difficult installation are all too likely to be
true. Since V1.4 is about Workbench, perhaps the standard could be set up
there - perhaps by including a 's:startup-assigns' in the standard WorkBench
startup.
