Modifying your AUTOEXEC.BAT file

For convenience in accessing your VGA utilities, you can

AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Follow these steps:

1.

At the MS-DOS command prompt in the root directory,

type the following and press 

Enter:

COPY AUTOEXEC.BAT+CON AUTOEXEC.BAT

2.

To set the path for the VGA utility directory, type the

following and press 

Enter:

PATH C:\pathname\

For instance, if you were using the example directory,

described above, you would type:

PATH C:\UTIL\

3.

Press F6 and then 

Enter. 

(See your MS-DOS Reference

Manual for more information about pathnames.)

VGAMODE provides 132-column text in popular text-based

applications, such as WordStar and WordPerfect. The

VGAMODE utility allows you to specify the number of rows

(lines) and columns you want displayed on the screen.

You specify values for the desired number of rows and columns
by typing them on the VGAMODE command line. The

command format is:

VGAMODE [columms] , [rows]

Valid values for columns are 80 and 132; for rows, use 25 or 50.
