AUTO Folder and System Initialization

This evening I wrote a little program to set the system time and date for my
520ST.  When I ran the program, it did actually change the time and date as
expected.

Since I wanted this program to be run at boot time, I placed it in a folder
named AUTO.  When I booted up, my program was run, but the time and date
were unchanged by my program.

I think what happened is this:  my program set the date and time perfectly.
After the program finished, the date and time were given their default
(and strange) values by the system.

THE PUNCH LINE:

Is there a way to get a program in the AUTO folder to run after all system
initialization is completed?

Thanks in advance,

Eric Bergman-Terrell
