Hi Dave, I found a site that has what appears to be the information you are looking for wrt running an application at boot time on a Mac: http://www.osxfaq.com/Tutorials/LearningCenter/HowTo/Startup/index.ws The first part of this talks about starting a program at user login. Further down, there is a section about starting a program at system boot. That is where you should start. Please let us know if this helps...
