I'm intrigued by the idea of adding EDITOR/QUAD and/or SYSSTART to an SLT,
but since I always include a STORE of PUB.SYS and the TELESUP account on my
SLT it doesn't really seem necessary; I could always RESTORE what I needed
onto LDEV 1 if I booted in SINGLE-DISK mode. And I agree that the usefulness
of SYSSTART in that scenario is questionable at best.

Donna after me:

It does it on line 5. You probably missed it because I reversed the order
you used. And if SYSSTART *hasn't* changed since I last did this, it should
still be on LDEV 1 and none of this will happen anyway.
