You can insist on what you want. It is easy when only you know what the
the output is.
<G> I've seen error messages before.

That's fine; it does what you want and will serve you well. Stick with
it. but forget about involving GRUB.
But a flow chart to do it would be easy:
Read input
if input=L then
do nothing
else if input=W, then
change boot method to Windows Boot Manager
else
return to read input
fi
Something like that could be easily implemented, methinks. But I'm
not going to do it.

I rather think there is an answer in the response you quoted.
I didn't see it. Remind me.

Good. (Your technique is extraordinary but comments on it are outside
the scope of this thread).
Thank you! I would rather start off with a X-less tty1 and then enter X
with my own choice of what to run, how the background looks, etc. startx,
with a good .xinit, does all I want. Simplicity, dear my lord,
makes computing yare. <G>

I'm confident you are resourceful and will manage.
<LOL> I trust that your confidence in me is not misplaced.
