[Oberon] Re (2): Starting V4.

Unfortunately, PO2013 does not foresee an „automation“ hook in the code. Could be added but is normally not needed.
However, you can automate things yourself by editing System.Mod, adding commands to the procedure OpenViewers and compiling System.Mod

Let‘s assume you want to automate eg the command MyPalette.InitColors.
Whether you write this command in a special „automatization“ configuration textfile with something like
   Task1 = MyPalette.InitColors
or you add directly to the procedure System.OpenViewers the line
  Oberon.Call(“MyPalette.InitColors“, d);

is effort-wise more or less the same. It is strange that the „configuration file“ thingy is something people seem to prefer although there are other ways to do it.
