I think the permission idea is good for my scenario. It is possible that there will be a few users of the BBB once I'm done with it, and I don't want any of them to easily be able to make any changes. The script at boot time is good too, and sounds easy enough. The GPIO pins I will be using will remain constant, so this may be the way I go for pin declarations. Thanks!

No, actually that clears it up quite a bit. I'll do so more digging...... Thanks!

I feel like the guy in the AT&T commercial 'Infinity times infinity"..... I'll do some research, come back smarter, and give this a shot. Thanks!

Is there any way to make the bone_capemgr.8/slots file remember that I want P8_13 to be designated after a power cycle? It seems that this registry resets back to default when the power is cycled on the board.
