ral-can,
You are on the right track hun. An IF-THEN sequence is the answer. Set up a variable to set it to 0 in the beginning then if ROMTAGMEM is executed by SETPATCH, set it to 1. Then add: IF A=1 SKIP; which will skip to the next line in the Startup-Sequence. You will have to use a variable that isn't used by the Startup-Sequence. Always set a variable to the default condition; 0 usually being FALSE and 1 being TRUE. There are several other ways of doing this. AmigaDOS is very rich.
