Default How do I edit the startup sequence?
I cant for the life of me remember how to edit the startup sequence under OS 3.5
Can someone refresh my memory as I have to add a line to the sequence in order for the WBCtrl to work properly.

Thanks

Just load it into a text editor, add your line, & save it. Make a backup of the original first just in case.

Uh...open up edit pad and go into your S: directory.

I wouldn't mess with it too much. Everything you want to do, you should be able to do in the user-startup, which would be recommended.

Actually you have several. "Ed", "Edit", and "MEmacs" should all be in OS3.5. Avoid "Edit", it's actually a line editor and VERY hard to use. The simplest would be "Ed". Just go to "Execute Command..." or the shell and type "Ed S:Startup-Sequence" or "Ed S:User-Startup". The rest is self explainatory.

Personally, I really hate Ed. I use EditPad in the SYS:Tools directory.

Ed is somewhat like vi on a unix system: you've got a damn good chance that it's going to be on there.
Just remember that esc-x is save and exit, esc-q is quit without writing and you'll be fine.
