This has been (sort of) done. There is a Public Domain program called
Launcher, which is actually a small (14K) application. You can
duplicate this application several times, then initialize each copy
to launch a different program on startup. For example, I have a folder
with 7 copies of Launcher, named: {MS Word}, {PageMaker}, etc. You
can even do some customization as to whether the screen is in B&W or
Color mode before the program is launched, as well as specifying any
document. The bad news is the 14Kbytes each.
I forget where I got the program (maybe CompuServe, I think). It works
fine on my SE, System 6.0.2.
If there is interest, I may find a way to get it to the net.
