Ok, suppose I actualy manage to get makeboot and a modified standard.bl to 
produce a bootable disk (yeah, right!) with v1-v7 in OS9Boot. Should'nt I be 
able to put /v# in the parameter line of the AIF? Better yet, in the AIF 
there's a line for the window type, like 7 (or was it 8?) for 40X25-16. Isn't 
there a code for VDG window? Couldn't it be used in the AIF?

OTOH maybe I havn't got a stinking clue what I'm talking about. If only I had 
a manual...
