``runto'' strikes me as an imcomplete command name (runto what?).

Personally, I much prefer ``start''. I've been using ``begin'' for the
past 3 years so I'm so used to it that I thought it would be a problem
switching to the new command name, but within the two hours or
implementing and testing it, I grew to love it more.
