How can I call up a tool (Clock for instance) from s/startup-sequence
and still get Workbench to load. Right now when I do it, I have
to click off the Clock to get Workbench to come up. POPCLI does
not seem to have this difficulty. Is it all in the code?

Try "run clock". The problem with this is that sometimes a cli
which has spawned processes will not go away when you do an endcli.

I've try that and notice that I can't get rid of the CLI. What
I would like to do is have the Workbench come up and have the clock
display program running. I haven't been totally successfull yet.

re: .2 Exactly my problem .. POPCLI obviously fixes that problem
since I run it out of startup-sequence without getting
stuck in CLI.

How about this?
1. Make file called cli-startup in your s directory.
2. Place some commands you want done during startup in this file.
3. In your startup do one of the following:
a. run execute cli-startup
b. newcli con:0/100/200/75/cli from cli-startup
b. has the added attraction of leaving a cli up and running on your
workbench. I use b. and it works fine. Do the newcli last (before
endcli) in your startup-sequence or it slows things down as they
both compete for df0:. Remember if cli-startup does a "run clock" or
"run popcli" then you won't be able to close the cli. Doesn't bother
me 'cause I like to keep one around.
