- The first thing we'll do is go through the stock startup and tidy things
- up just a bit.
-
-
- - Delete the "echo A500.." line, like hey, who needs an advertisement?
-
- - BindDrivers is only if you have a hard drive so say bye-bye.
-
- - condense this next bunch of garbage down to
-
- Path System Utilities (the "add" is unnecessary)
-
- We KNOW the System and Utilities directories are on the disk (unless
- you've renamed them, which you're welcome to do) so we don't need all this
- IF and EndIF yak. We also want to call attention to Ram so LoadWB will
- load its icon, which is the (only) point of "Dir Ram:" down below, so make
- the Path command "Path Ram: System Utilities". That will call attention
- to Ram just fine. Delete the "Dir Ram:". Talk about redundant.
-
- - This isn't Sweden so toss that SetMap command on the scrap heap where it
- belongs. You can also now delete all the keymaps in the devs dir. Way down
- the road on some wintery day you can haul out ol' SetMap and try and make it
- do something besides goof up your keyboard. You are more than welcome to
- make long extensive tests and see just what the differences are between USA1,
- 2,3 and default.
-
- - If you haven't jacked AddBuffers up to 250 yet you've got a BIG surprise
- coming. First, delete all that garbage after the semicolon. You'll use
- AddBuffers until you get FaccII, a much-needed buffers program that has an
- OFF switch. Not being able to turn off AddBuffers, and thus getting the
- memory/Ram back, is a prime reason we need Select. If you've got the meg of
- Ram give df0 250 or so and grateful little df1 50, like thus:
-
- AddBuffers df0: 250 df1: 50
-
- - LoadWb can be RunBack'd -6 and is much smoother, but I'm not sure if the
- system is completely happy with it being RunBack'd, so I run it straight up.
-
- - Delete the failat command. If SetClock needs failat 30, face it, your
- computer's broken. That's assuming you've got the meg of Ram and the
- internal clock. If you don't have the meg, delete the SetClock command too.
-
- - Otherwise, the SetClock command is fine just the way it is.
-
- - Delete Date, like who needs it..it just types out the date.
-
- - The EndCLI is also fine..interesting to note the "> nil:" has a space
- between the > and nil:, but doesn't up above in SetClock. It only shows it
- doesn't matter.
-
-
- So the way I see it is:
-
- Path Ram: System Utilities
- AddBuffers df0: 250 df1: 50
- LoadWb
- SetClock > nil: opt load
- EndCLI > nil:
-
- Well! Whittled that puppy right down to size, we did.

- Suggestion: "Copy c/Execute c/f". Then "Ed s/g", and in Ed type
- "Ed df0:s/startup-sequence" and Save. Then when you type "f g" just as fast
- as your little fingers can go, boom, one startup-sequence, ready to edit.
