I have a faceless, background task (like Backgrounder) that I want to
run when the system starts up, but the 'Set Startup...' command pays no
attention to the program. I've read that under MultiFinder 6.1b9, the
system will run programs it finds in the blessed folder's Background
Folder, but I've only been able to get my system to run Backgrounder
from this folder (in particular, the system won't run my faceless,
background task). Is there some magic to perform that will make the
system open applications found in the Background Folder?

[System particulars: Mac IIci, System 6.0.4, Finder 6.1.4, MultiFinder 6.1b9]
