Firts of all, I apologize for the multiple threads. I'm trying to catch up for the time I was down (1 year).

I'm uisng yet another version of Pagestream (4) that I had installed in my previos installation of MorphOS 3.1. Following some advice, I made a copy of some of the applications I had installed before, since I had to amke a fresh installation of MOS 3,3, to be able to install Chrysalis 3.3.1.

I moved a copy of this previous Pagestream4 installation to my Work: partition. This moved version works, after I click the "Pagestream4 Assigns" option, which part of the content in the folder containing my saved copy of PGS4.

Of course, I don't have anything recorded in the user-startup for PGS4, since this version was not installed following any installation script,, so everytime I boot up, I have to run the "Pagestream4 Assigns" to make it work.

So the question is how do I modify my startup sequence to handle this as it was a normally installed application?

My original installation in MorphOS 3.1 looked like this:
;BEGIN PageStream4
Assign PageStream4: "sys:Applications/PageStream4"
Assign SoftLogik: "PageStream4:SoftLogik"
Assign Fonts: "PageStream4:SoftLogik/Fonts" ADD
;END PageStream4

Reminder, my "moved" installation is in Works: Pagestream4.

I will appreciate any help.

Add (with some text editor, Ed or Scribble for example) to SYS:S/user-startup file these lines (I assume you mean Work, not Works, but add s there on second line if I'm wrong):

;BEGIN PageStream4
Assign PageStream4: "Work:PageStream4"
Assign SoftLogik: "PageStream4:SoftLogik"
Assign Fonts: "PageStream4:SoftLogik/Fonts" ADD
;END PageStream4

And of course you can check what that "Pagestream4 Assigns" file contains, it's just a text file. If it looks different than those previously mentioned lines, then you can modify user-startup according to it too...

Thank you for your response and help.

I made some progress with your script, but now everytime I start the application after a reboot or power up, a window pops up asking me to mount or assign. I choose Assign and then point to Work:PageStream4 and the prgram opens OK.

How can I avoid this?

And by the way, the "PageStreamAssigns" is an executable file so I can't see or edit the script.

Well, what assign it wants to do? It should read in that window.

Sure about that? They're usually script files...

Try:
Code:
```
;START PageStream
  if exists work:pagestream
    Assign PageStream: "work:PageStream"
    Assign PageStream3: "work:PageStream"
    Assign PageStream4: "work:PageStream"
    Assign SoftLogik: "PageStream:SoftLogik"
  endif
;END PageStream
```
(Not sure if Pagestream3 is really required, but this is what I have in s:user-startup.

NB - It's best to wrap program assigns in "if exists // endif" statements - that way if you delete the program (and its folder) from your hard drive, you won't be annoyed by requesters on a reboot.

No matter what script of the recommended ones I use, I still have to manually assign the Work:PageStream4/ folder manually evrytime that I reboot.

So, please tell us what assign it is asking in the requester then. When it says

Please insert volume
xxx
in any drive

Retry Assign... Mount Deny Cancel

What reads there on xxx? You have to add that assign to user-startup too.

It say Please Insert volume PageSteram in any drive. Retry - Assign - Mount - Deny - Cancel.

And my user-startup reads;

;BEGIN PageStream4
Assign PageStream4: "Work:PageStream4"
Assign SoftLogik: "PageStream4:SoftLogik"
Assign Fonts: "PageStream4:SoftLogik/Fonts" ADD
;END PageStream4

I have just sent a reply to WeiXing3D explaining that there is a vital line of the Pagestream assigns missing

Namely :-

Assign Pagestream: Work:Pagestream4

His system is looking for a psuedo (assigned) volume called "Pagestream:" which it cannot find because the "Pagestream:" volume is NOT assigned in his user-startup - but this line added into his user-startup as the first line of the Pagestream assigns should cure his problems - I hope
