[Bill Daggett asks about a strange Command-xxx file created during startup]

The command file you noted was not created by ConMan, but by the execute
command.  The AmigaDOS scripting language uses temporary files whenever
in needs to process arguments passed to the batch file, ot when you call
one script from another.  The temporary file is the way DOS captures the
current "state" -- it simple reads ahead in the stream and appends it to
the end of the new script file.

This probably first came about when you rearranged your startup to get
ConMan up and going as soon as possible.  You should be able to just pass
the secondary startup as the FROM argument to a NewCLI (or a NewWSH, if
you are so blessed); the FROM script file will never generate a temp file.
