Auto user login

Hi everyone,

I have been following the list with great interest, trying to understand what I read, but a lot of it is beyond me, right now. I am trying to do something basic here and set up one of my OS 9.2.2 machines to automatically login in as a particular user on startup. I know that multiple users can be set to auto login if only one user exists, but I would rather make a script that I can put in start up items so if I need to move it to a different machine, it's not a problem. I don't know if multiple users is even scriptable, but I have noticed that things such as the Finder can be told to activate, so I'm hoping. My script so far is as follows:

Tell application "Multiple Users"
set name to "Guest"
set password to "Welcome"
end tell

Obviously, I am missing something. How do I tell the control panel to hit Return after it plugs in the password? Can I even do this? I am sorry to be asking what seems to be a very basic question, I am just puzzled.

Thank you

Paul
