Wait a second...
I *am* using the applet to run a separate script, so now I am wondering
why *that* isn't helping as per the "OR" above?
I still think this is pretty ridiculous, and would be greatful if someone
could forward what must be the "reason" for this sillyness in AS and Mac
OS if no one else is complaining...what's the point of the AS extension if
it doesn't *START* AS? What good are the additions in the Sys Fldr. if
they aren't useable on boot, but only after "brute force" tactics? Is
this a known bug/issue or just a fact of poor implementation or lack of
support for AS by the Core OS team?
I'm really stuck on this and given the other "issues" I've seen on this
list - all scattered and compounded between OS versions, AS versions and
other component versions - am debating if I shouldn't just scrap this
sketchy technology all together...?

I am sorry to say, but I have no idea what the above sentence means -
what is chevron, aside from a brand of gas stations?
Frustrated,
