Thanx a bunch. I spent [D [D [Dabout 6 hours customizing my startup file trying
to get those damn windows working. I don't know what I did but I got it to
work. I have 4 windows come up out of startup, and also 1 for mv. The 1b21 for
the mv window seems to work, but not for the other windows. So I7ll live with
that until I can find out more about windowing. In addition to that I've
optimized my system for spedd. Sorry, about the typos, but I can't backspace
with osterm !!! look at the [[D's abouve. Thats what comes out when I hit the
backspavece key. Anyway I have had the disto ramdisk cartridge for over a year,
and I have only really used it to compile programs without ever accessing the
HD. (I can remeber whemn I used to compile off a two floppy drive system. Talk
about slow !!) Now I format it on startup, load it with cmds, apllications,
icons, aifs, and procs. MV is in high gear now. (Fastgraf helped a lot too !).
For some reason , when I start up osterm from th ramdrive, it comes up with an
unable to link to macro mesassage, and just sits there. But when I run it from
the HD, it is ok. Any ideas ?

Getting back to the original topic. (Sorry, but I had to blow my horn. I spen t
a lot of time trying to get the damn startup file e to finish executing. It
would just quit in the middle, soemtimes with an error sometimes not.) It
turned out that While I was using Window Wwriter, it left a control character
or teo two in there, and them buggers is invisible ! I usually have it strip
out all control codes, but maybe it left some anyway. I can see it now, the
compiler is gonna choke on th those control chars. Looks like I need to write a
filter program !
