  19. From Ned:
  20. >The proper approach is to put these things collectively into a site-specific
  21. >startup file. This file should then be run immediately after PMDF_STARTUP is
  22. >run. This eliminates the possibility that these settings will be lost after an
  23. >upgrade. It also eliminates the possibility that we'll lose your changes, and
  24. >it eliminates the need to scan the old startup looking for changes.
  25.  
  26. So how about built-in support for something like SYS$STARTUP:PMDF_SYSTARTUP.COM?
