Yikes!  Be aware that if you were to do something as foolish as changing
your INIT type to 'scri' then you may not be able to do everything you
want to!
'scri' is not a documented type for 3rd parties to use *because* the
system is not fully functinal at the time that 'scri's load.  What exactly
may or may not exist at that time is dependent on the machine and system
version.  
If you make no toolbox  calls, or stick to things like resource manager
and file manager calls you should be OK, but all bets are off in general
at 'scri' time.
