AUTOEXEC.BAT

Note: AUTOEXEC.BAT is processed by COMMAND.COM and has no
meaning if another program is used as a shell (see the section
SHELL= above).
DOS Settings
• ECHO [ON | OFF | TEXT ]
This command (which is commonly used in batch files, especially AUTOEXEC.BAT)
displays a text string (the TEXT option), or enables/disables the echoing of commands in
the batch file as it is executed. When a batch file is used to execute a program, it gives a
more "transparent" look if the commands which "set up" the applications' execution are
hidden. To prevent the ECHO OFF command from itself echoing, precede it with an @ sign
(e.g., @ECHO OFF).
• MODE
This command sets up and/or configures various drivers. Refer to the MS-DOS User's
Manual for more information.
• PATH
This command sets the path(s) used to find executable programs.
• PROMPT
This command modifies the DOS COMMAND.COM shell prompt.
• SET
This command sets environment variables, typically those required by TSRs or
applications/environments.
