Model II
TRSDOS
AUTO
Automatic Command after System Start-Up
This command lets you provide a command to be executed wheneverTRSDOS
is started (power-up or reset). You can use it to get a desired program running
without any operator action required, except typing in the date and time.
When you enter an AUTO command, TRSDOS writes command-line into the
start-up procedure for the diskette in Drive O. TRSDOS does not check for valid
commands; if the command line contains an error, it will be detected the next time
the System is started up.
Examples
AUTO DIR {SYS}
Tells TRSDOS to write the command DIR SYS at the end of its start-up
procedure. Each time the System is reset or powered up, it will automatically
execute that command after you enter the date and time.
AUTO BASIC
Tells TRSDOS to load and execute BASIC each time the System is started up.
AUTO FORMS {W=80} For 8-1/2" wide paper
Tells TRSDOS to reset the printer width parameter each time the system is
started up.
AUTO PAYFWU../CMD
Tells TRSDOS to load and execute PAYROLLjCMD (must be a machine-
language program) after each System start-up.
AUTO DO STARTER
Tells TRSDOS to take automatic key-ins from the file named STARTER after
each system start-up. See BUILD and DO.
