Not having a copy of Rob Peck's "runback" kludge, I've been starting
Qmouse from my startup-sequence by

	mount NULL:
	run >NULL: QMouse -Fs:qmouse.config

This works just fine on my regular boot disk (a 1.3 GVP+Q40).  The startup
CLI exits normally, presenting me with the Workbench screen.

If I try the same thing from an ARP1.3 floppy, the startup CLI doesn't exit.

Why not?  Any ideas?  Am I missing something obvious?  I've tried several
command-line permutations.  Using Arun doesn't help.  Using NIL: doesn't
work at all.

(My wish for 1.4?  Punt NIL.  Replace it with a true NULL.)
