I would suggest Prosel. IIRC, the GS version can set itself as the startup program when installed. It's been awhile so I could be wrong. As a plus, you get some great utilities for file/disk maintenance. There is also an 8 bit version but I think the GS version may have more functionality.My IIGS boots from a CF drive into GS/OS 6. Instead of the Finder, I'd like to boot into a quick-n-dirty menu program. Something with large (tiled?) icons and text descriptions, the icons/buttons could be mouse-clicked or keyboard-selected. The IIGS display is currently a 27" TV connected via a VOC, so easy readibility and use is a must. I vaugely remember something like this, (maybe from Econ Technologies?), and I'd like to implement it so my kids can get into the paint programs and educational stuff - some apps are executable and some are 800k disk images. Thanks for any thoughts. I'm not against writing something if I have to...
If you want an 8 bit program, there was a GUI available. Be aware that it may not display well except on a monochrome display. A custom graphic menu program would get around this display issue but may not offer many options per screen.
Kitchen Sink Software @ http://www.kitchen-sink.com/a2/index.html has System II which could fit your needs but it is a little large for a simple menu.
