Hello folks,

    The more that I use NeoDesk 2.04, the more I positively enjoy the
program.  A very handy feature is the AUTOEXECUTION of programs feature
that NeoDesk does after it loads itself during bootup.
    Example:  QAUTOST.PRG.  This program was graciously released into
the NET and instructions advise that the program should be placed into
the /AUTO/ folder.
    However, doing this resulted in my having to struggle with reshuffling
the files and all of that.  I discovered that QAUTOST.PRG works perfectly
when run from the desktop.  Ah!
    Using the AUTOEXECUTION feature of NeoDesk, I assigned QAUTOST.PRG
to be run from that mode rather than the /AUTO/ folder.
    Nice!  Works great.  Speed tests indicate a significant increase
of GEMDRAW.  All of this from a simple type in command and save of
NeoDesk's desktop.inf file.  None of this shuffling files out of the
/AUTO/ folder and reshuffling them back.
    Now, when I boot the system up, NeoDesk comes up and then QAUTOST.PRG
comes up.  Very handy feature, folks.
