Enhancing System Operations

This chapter tells you how to take advantage of the following
enhancement features of your computer system:

Using AUTOEXEC.BAT and Other Batch Files

As you get used to using MS-DOS and your application
programs, you may find that there are commands you need to
run frequently. You can automate the execution of these
commands by listing them in a special file called a "batch" file.
When you type the name of the batch file and press
MS-DOS executes the commands in the file just as if you had
typed each command from the keyboard.
If you have a word processing program that can save a file as a
text-only file (sometimes called an ASCII file), you can use that
program to create a batch file. You can also use the MS-DOS
COPY or EDLIN command to create the file. See your
MS-DOS Reference Manual for instructions on creating and
using batch files.
