After you have copied the VGAMODE utility to your hard
disk, it is best to include the pathname for VGAMODE and
other utilities in an AUTOEXEC.BAT file. See the next
section for instructions.
Adding VGAMODE to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file
For convenience in accessing VGAMODE, you can include a
pathname in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Follow these steps:
1.
At the MS-DOS command prompt in the root directory,
type the following and press Enter:
COPY AUTOEXEC.BAT+CON AUTOEXEC.BAT
2.
To set the path for the VGAMODE utility, type the
following and press
Enter:
PATH C:\pathname\
For instance, if you were using the default directory offered
by the VGA Driver Setup program, you would type:
PATH C:\UTIL\
3. Press F6 and then Enter.
(See your MS-DOS Reference Manual for more information
about pathnames.)
Using the utility
You specify values for the desired number of rows and columns
by typing them on the VGAMODE command line. The
command format is:
VGAMODE [columns], [rows]
