Yea. You mentioned that you're running in 'Expert' mode (which is so
variable), so I'll just give the general principals, rather than the
nuts-and-bolts info.

You have to run StackerAnywhere (SA) before you load GEOS (ie put it
in your Autoexec.bat). Additionally, on your SA command line, you
have to give a command (usually a batch file) to execute to continue
the Zoomer's boot process.

When SA loads, it halts the batch file that calls it. (The batch file
is waiting for the command shell/program to exit.) So, you have to
tell SA to continue with another batch file within the new command
shell (to do things like, oh, load GEOS). If you don't specify a
batch file for the secondary command shell, then you're left at a
command prompt ... which, on a Zoomer, isn't helpful.
