Hi Erik,

EA> Thanks to everyone who told me the valid range of STARTPRI

EA> Does order matter ie.  does the STARTPRI tooltype have to be

Tooltype order is irrelevant.

EA> Must all WBStartup programs have a STARTPRI tooltype in order
EA> for it to be used?

No, the default STARTPRI is 0.

EA> What is the result of entering a value out of the valid range
EA> (eg.  200)?

It is probably storing the value in a byte, so values outside of the
range -128 to 127 will get mapped to that range.

EA> Which feature of MultiCX alters the Execs DoIO() vector?  I

It alters DoIO()?  Why?  That sounds scary!

EA> One thing I can't work out though is why it didn't have the same

I forget what OS you're running, but the physical order shouldn't
matter.
