  Paul, all your descriptions boil down to one problem...  You're
still trying to run a program that uses the AES system before AES is
initialized.  The solution is to use a program called BOOTMAKR.PRG.

  This program allows you to create another program which, when placed
in your auto folder, will run a GEM program (one that uses AES or VDI
routines) just after the desktop appears without you having to touch
anything...  Since the desktop itself uses AES routines, the AES
system is initialized when the desktop boots, and your program (in
this case UNITERM) will run just fine...

  I'd rather not send BootMakr via mail because my local usenet node
is currently having problems with anything but 300baud and it would
take quite a while for me to upload even a relatively small program.
Check your local ST bbs systems...  If you still can't find what you
need, drop me a note and we'll see what we can work out to get the
program to you...
