Note
The procedure described above copies all the files on the
MS-DOS and Reference diskettes to the /DOS subdirectory
on drive C. You may, however, prefer to store some of these
commands in other subdirectories. For information of
creating subdirectories, see Chapter 3 or see your MS-DOS
Reference Manual. The file COMMAND.COM (which is
included on the Stamp and Operating 1 diskettes) must
remain in the root directory of drive C.
Creating the AUTOEXEC.BAT File
The following procedure creates an AUTOEXEC.BAT file in
the root directory of the hard disk. Once this file exists on the
hard disk, your computer automatically executes several
commands every time you turn on or reset the computer.
Specifically, it does the following:
Bypasses the date and time prompts
Defines a path to all the MS-DOS commands in the /DOS
directory
Changes the command prompt to reflect the current
directory.
Note
The AUTOEXEC.BAT file is optional, and you can either
not create one at all or create one that is different. For a
description of AUTOEXEC.BAT, see Chapter 3; or see your
MS-DOS manual for more detailed information.
Follow these steps:

Type
C
