The other day I made a change to my sys:s/startup-sequence file using
the editor "ed".  Well, I wrote the file out and then immediately rebooted
via Control-Amiga-Amiga to see if it would work.  Well, many can guess
that the file was never written out because of the 1 to 2 second delay
it takes to "sync" the disk.  What I want to know is, since Control-Amiga-Amiga
is not a system crash but rather a very friendly reboot, why didn't the
system wait for the disks to synchronize??  This is what I would like
the 1.3 executive to do for me, and hurry!
