 I am starting ICQ now from autoexec and xclipboard from a file I created
~/G/L/A/.startfile (for some reason xclipboard didn't want to start from
autoexec). Part of my problem was that nothing in autoexec was starting after
the Module "I" Wharf line maybe because I remmed out everything in Wharf except
the desk 0 pager module, which now starts in the lower left corner. I didn't
find a menu -quit -update option in the startmenu.  Anyway, problem mostly
solved Thanks!!
