If you want GEOS to automatically drop you into a particular application
(even if you choose to reset the professional workspace, coming back from
an abnormal background) you can edit the following location in GEOS.INI:

	[welcome]
	startup = GeoManager

I've changed mine to read:

	[welcome]
	startup = GeoComm

Whatever application you select will come up any time you:

- reset the professional workspace after an abnormal termination (if you
  have it set to bypass the welcome screen, and maybe even if not)
- close all apps in the professional workspace, exiting to the welcome
  screen, then go back into the professional workspace
- close all apps in the professional workspace, drop out entirely, then
  restart GEOS (if you have it set to bypass the welcome screen)
