Note

The procedure described above copies all the files on the

MS-DOS and Reference diskettes to the /DOS subdirectory

on drive C. You may, however, prefer to store some of these

commands in other subdirectories. For information of

creating subdirectories, see Chapter 3 or see your  MS-DOS

Reference Manual. The file COMMAND.COM (which is
included on the Stamp and Operating 1 diskettes) must

remain in the root directory of drive C.

The following procedure creates an AUTOEXEC.BAT file in

the root directory of the hard disk. Once this file exists on the

hard disk, your computer automatically executes several

commands every time you turn on or reset the computer.

Specifically, it does the following:

Bypasses the date and time prompts

Defines a path to all the MS-DOS commands in the /DOS

directory

Changes the command prompt to reflect the current

directory.

Note

The AUTOEXEC.BAT file is optional, and you can either

not create one at all or create one that is different. For a

description of AUTOEXEC.BAT, see Chapter 3; or see your

MS-DOS manual for more detailed information.

Follow these steps:

1. Type 

C 

: and press Enter to log onto the hard disk.
