Startup diskette, insert the Startup diskette into drive A

2. At the MS-DOS command prompt, type the following and
press
Enter:
COPY CON: d:\AUTOEXEC.BAT
where d is the drive that will contain the
AUTOEXEC.BAT file you are creating. This drive must be
the drive from which your computer loads MS-DOS. For
example, if you load MS-DOS from drive C, type the
following and press
COPY CON: C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT
3. Now enter the commands you want to include in the file.
Type them exactly as you want MS-DOS to execute them,
and in the order you want MS-DOS to perform them. Press

4. Press F6 and then
you typed to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. From now on,
MS-DOS runs the commands in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file
every time you turn on or reset the computer.
If you need to change anything in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file
later, you can use the same procedure to modify the commands.
See your MS-DOS Reference Manual for more information.
