Sorry, it seems to depend on what version of V4 you look at.
I just checked with the V4 on Windows, there the boot sequence seems to be different.
There is no code to run commands from System.InitCommands.

During initialization of System.Mod
- Init is called
- then OpenViewers is called

In OpenViewers the module "Configuration" is loaded, if available.
If not available, OpenViewers opens the file System.Tool (hardcoded).

In the Init procedure of Configuration.Mod you can put all your desired commands you want to run during boot. Eg.
- set your preferred color scheme
- set the working directory
- open System.Tool
etc.

    I‘m not quite sure but the text file „System.InitCommands“ is only there if you created one, with your commands you want to add during boot.
