Using AUTOEXEC.BAT and Other Batch Files
If you are using MS-DOS to access your application programs,
you may find that there are commands you need to run
frequently. You can automate the execution of these commands
by listing them in a special file called a batch file. When you
type the name of the batch file and press
[Enbrl,
MS-DOS
executes the commands in the file just as if you had typed each
command from the keyboard.
If you have a word processing program that can save a file as a
text-only file (sometimes called an ASCII file), you can use it to
create a batch file. You can also use the MS-DOS COPY, EDIT,
or EDLIN command, or a text editor, to create the file.
One batch file that you may find particularly useful is called
AUTOEXEC.BAT. Every time you turn on your computer,
MS-DOS looks for the AUTOEXEC.BAT file and automatically
executes each of the commands in the file.
