WRONG!!

the order of execution is the order the files have in the directory!
The difference becomes clear when you delete a file in the auto folder and
write a new one; The new file will take the place of the older one and
will thus be executed before file's placed further in the /auto folder.

This is, on my version of TOS - a 1040 bought +- 1 year ago (sorry, i do
not know more).
