I feel a bit ashamed of blowing my own horn like this, but my
"MIND" reminders program includes a feature whereby as you exit any
program you can:
a) hold down a pre-selected key to transfer directly to another
program (this is your "runlist")
or
b) transfer to an arbitrary program
via a standard file dialog.
This can be done as the system boots up skipping the initial
visit to Finder.
Unfortunately, the version of MIND last posted to usenet was rather
obsolete & buggy, and I can't get through to mod.mac. Does
net.sources.mac still get distributed? I'll post there if I get some
requests.
