A script ANYWHERE in your path (as setup BEFORE you exit your startup-cli) will
run without explictly typing 'Execute'.

This is why I always set my path as the very last thing I do in my startup-sequence
file.

Execute doesn't need to be resident (Shell-seg does though). You don't need the 
ROMS. I believe that you need to mount newcon: also.

	Yes, you have to run scripts from a SHELL, fortuneatly this is easy.
If you have 1.3 then you should just look at the original startup-sequence supplied
by Commodore. Or you could read the manual (could it be that simple?).
