Rebooting; Installing The Application; Copying The Files; Setting Up The Application - Husky MP2500 Manual

5.5.1 Rebooting

To reboot, hold down Ctrl (default legend: Q) and Alt (default legend: R)
and press D simultaneously, then release all three keys. Normally, the
Welcome message will be displayed; press any normal key (eg E) and
the DOS prompt should be displayed (or a date prompt, if there is no
AUTOEXEC.BAT file). You are now ready to install the application.

5.6 Installing the application

5.6.1 Copying the files

While you can develop applications on the MP2500, they will typically be
developed and stored on a desktop PC, or provided on a PC-compatible
diskette.
To use an application on the MP2500, copy the application program and
data files from the PC to an appropriate directory on the MP2500 C drive.
Copy the file by using the supplied communications utilities (HCOM or XL -
see Chapter 14) or by using the MSDOS INTERLINK utility (see section
10.5).

5.6.2 Setting up the application

If you created a new directory for the application, operation will probably be
simpler if you add that directory to the PATH statement in
AUTOEXEC.BAT.
If the application requires changes to CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT,
make them now (see section 5.4.4) and then reboot to bring the changes
into effect. For example, the application might require a higher FILES figure
(CONFIG.SYS) or be designed to run from AUTOEXEC.BAT.

5.6.3 Running the application

As a final step, make sure that the application runs correctly!
If it does not, find out what is stopping it. To exit the application or reboot
you may need to use emergency breakout or a hard reset (see section 9.2),
as some applications will disable Ctrl+Alt+Del reboot.
