startup a program in kde

["John R. Sowden" <jsowden@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

How do I start a program, a la autoexec.bat in dos, once I have entered kde?
If I do it at the console level, it will stop kde from loading (maybe?) while 
it waits for a user response.  I haven't found this in the kde help. (key 
word start ...)
