As an Applescript, you will paste it into the Script Editor. Ensure it runs
and does what you want. Then select "Save As" and save as "Application".
Script Editor may have an option to deselect "show startup dialog, I'm not
sure, but you should choose not to show the startup window.
Put the script wherever you want, probably ~User/LibraryScripts/
If no such folder exists you can create it. When the script is in place open
your "Accounts" prefpanel and select your name, then "Startup Items" in the
upper right corner. Now click "+" to add an item and navigate to the script,
or just drop it in the box.

Not recommended considering your level of expertise. Besides, I'm not sure
*.command files work anymore in Panther.

As above. If you want to create an actual UNIX StartupItem I'll walk you
through it, but the AS solution should get you going.
If the AS asks for a password every reboot the UNIX solution might be best.
