Problems with missing information in MATE's "help system"



I am using the MATE desktop on Debian Stretch.
I wish to run a user specific script each time a specific user logs in.
The script is known to work because I manually run it each and every time I login.

The MATE help system lacks a usable index making finding a specific option difficult.

One eventually arrives at
Desktop User Guide » Desktop Sessions » Setting Programs to Start Automatically When You Log In » which has a section titled "Startup Programs Tab" which says "You can use the Startup Programs tab to add, modify, and remove startup programs."

The previous screen had said "The Sessions preference tool allows you to define which programs are started automatically when you log in."

*NOWHERE* does the "help system" give Debian applicable instructions for getting to this "Sessions preference tool". Elsewhere in the "help system" reference is made to something similar called "System Manager". But nothing on how to access it either.

Guidance from a MATE user would be appreciated.
TIA
