Then you start your startup.cmd file with a REXX comment?

That's what I do: I call a REXX file from my startup.cmd.

Thinking about startup.cmd: startup.cmd is just a normal batch file and REXX
uses also text files with the .cmd extension (because of the command
processor), so now I see how you can think of making startup.cmd a REXX file.
:)

No, I just hadn't thought about making my startup.cmd file into a REXX file.

At the time startup.cmd starts, the screen is already a blank graphic screen,
that's Program Manager (PM).
