I put /q and /nb in the Windows shortcut Properties.

SEEMs to cooperate!

Regarding AUTOEXEC direcotory: THAT is a good feature.  *I* probably won't  
need all that.  But I can see its benefits for a dedicated oxp system that  
implements multiple servers, IPv6 vs IPv4, and other particular things.

The /x option (quit program) intrigues me.  Why would anyone want that in  
a "startup" autoexec routine?

Regarding F1 twice: Cool.  But I would never have thought that TAB would  
walk through the next items.  I was using down-arrow and it was skipping  
some of those!
