The AUTOEXEC.BAT File
During the CMS installation process, an AUTOEXEC.BAT file containing the
three lines below was placed on your PC’s hard disk. If the AUTOEXEC.BAT
file existed on your PC’s hard disk prior to CMS installation, these three lines
were added to the end of the file when CMS was installed.
The three lines are:
prompt $p$g
cd c: \cms
cms
The first line causes the full pathname of the current directory to be displayed
as part of the MS-DOS prompt. The second and third lines cause the CMS
Menu to displa}’ automatically after MS-DOS Resident Diagnostics are run.
This happens whenever your PC is turned on or MS-DOS is rebooted.
If you ever edit the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, make sure these lines remain as the
last three lines of the file.
To view the contents of the AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
1 At the C> prompt, type
cd
\
then press
[Enter].
2 At the C> prompt, type
type autoexec.bat
then press
[Enter].
The contents of the AUTOEXEC.BAT file appear on the screen.
