Well, I think I solved some of the mystery here... I tried putting "Run System:c/Version" as the first line of my startup-sequence script, and it correctly reports 40.68/40.42.... And it turns out that AmigaStart does in fact just read the environment variables $kickstart and $workbench, which aren't set by the time AmigaStart runs. If I "setenv kickstart 99.99" and "setenv workbench -1.-1", then run AmigaStart again, it does indeed report those numbers back to me. I'm curious about how it comes up with 37.175/38.36 by default though...
