I still can't get this to work. I have modified the 806 open script in
various ways, like displaying a message as the first or last step. They
don't happen, neither does a pause step. There are no opens in that script.
It does an external perform of something in ebase.102.
If I open names before ebase.102 then the startup script with changes is
executed.
There is some subliminal message that flashes by on the screen just before
the password prompt comes up. I can't tell what it is.
