ROM-DOS Internal Commands 4-69
SWITCHES
CONFIG.SYS Command
The SWITCHES command allows special CONFIG.SYS file options.
Syntax
SWITCHES=[/k][/n][/f]
Remarks
The /k argument makes an enhanced keyboard behave like a
conventional keyboard.
The /n argument prevents the use of the F5 and F8 function keys to
bypass the startup commands.
The /f argument instructs ROM-DOS to skip the delay after displaying the
“Starting ROM-DOS...” message at boot time. The delay allows you time
to use the F5 and F8 options to alter the processing of the CONFIG.SYS
and AUTOEXEC.BAT files.
Example
switches = /n
Prevents you from using the F5 and F8 keys at boot time.
