Configuring ROM-DOS 3-7
2. As the above message is being displayed, press the F8 key to display
the first command in the CONFIG.SYS file.
3. For each command, ROM-DOS displays a [Y,N]? prompt. To process
the instruction, press Y. To bypass the instruction, press N. ROM-
DOS then moves to the next command in the CONFIG.SYS file. To
bypass the confirmation prompt for the remaining instructions in the
CONFIG.SYS file and skip the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, you can press
the F5 key at any [Y,N]? prompt.
Note: You can prompt for a single CONFIG.SYS command by using the
question mark (?) command prior to the equals sign (=) in the
command line.
When ROM-DOS finishes all of the commands in the CONFIG.SYS file, it
prompts with:
Process AUTOEXEC.BAT [Y, N]?
Press Y to selectively process the commands in AUTOEXEC.BAT,
otherwise press N to bypass all commands in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
Environment Variables
A block of system memory is reserved for the definition of certain strings,
called environment variables, to be used in the command processor
environment. These include the settings you may establish with the
PATH and PROMPT commands as well as COMSPEC, which is
automatically defined by ROM-DOS at system startup. Environment
variables may be defined using the SET command that is explained in the
Command Descriptions section in chapter 6.
