  17. I don't know if it's good or not.  I mean, ARexx *doesn't work* until
  18. you go hacking around in your Startup-Seq.  Most people don't like to mess
  19. with that (or don't know _how_ to mess with it).

  21. I can just see it:

  23. Befuddled user: "Hello, Gold Disk?  My ProPage 'Genies' aren't working
  24. anymore."
  25.  
  26. Gold Disk: "Are you sure ARexx is running?"
  27.  
  28. User: "What's that?"
  29.  
  30. Gold Disk: "Well, are you using WB2.0 or above?"
  31.  
  32. User: "Heck yeah, I just installed 2.1."
  33.  
  34. Gold Disk: "Oh, that's Commodore's fault.  You'll have to edit your
  35. Startup-Sequence."
  36.  
  37. User: "What's that?"
