Exactly what does the Autoexec file in MultiVue do?  I would like to be able to
use my MultiVue boot disk for all OS-9 boots rather than just for launching
MultiVue.  If it is not necessary to keep autoex as autoex, I'd like to rename
it to StartMV or something like that.  Then I can use a utility I found called
OptStart so that on bootup I can press the space bar to launch MV or not press
it to boot normally.  And if I want to use MV later in a session, I can type
/d0/cmds/StartMV rather than putting the MultiVue boot disk in /d0 and typing
reset to reboot.  Also, whenever I quit MultiVue, the screen clears and my
pointer is where I last left it. But there's no OS9: and the system is totally
locked up.  To make the aforementioned more useful, it would help if I can
return to OS-9 instead of having to reboot.  All this nearly makes MV a 3rd
operating system to me. Is there anything I can do?  Finally, the manual states
a limit of 5 devices may be defined.  Is this 5 RBF + 5 SCF devices =10 total
or 5 total devices whether RBF or SCF?
