- Try the following:
-
- serverdict begin 0 exitserver
- true statusdict /dostartpage get exec
-
- The first line forces code to be executed outside the server loop,
- i.e. permanent effect (wouldn't help much to turn on the start page
- in a way that gets lost when you reset or power cycle ;).

- It does not matter whether this is done on serial port or AppleTalk,
- nor does it matter if it is done from a program or terminal.
