Using an AUTOEXEC.BAT file

 Starting an application program

The information presented in this chapter assumes you are

running MS-DOS from the MS-DOS command prompt, not

from the MS-DOS Shell program. If you plan to use Shell, see

the MS-DOS Shell User’s Guide for a complete description of

how to execute commands using Shell.

Before you can run an MS-DOS application program, MS-DOS

must be running in memory. If you have prepared your hard disk

according to the procedures in the MS-DOS Installation Guide,

MS-DOS loads automatically from your hard disk whenever you

turn on your computer (provided you do not have a diskette in

the diskette drive).

Before you turn off the computer, make sure the MS-DOS

command prompt (such as 

C> 

or C : \ > ) appears on the screen.

Then remove your diskettes, turn off any peripheral devices,

and turn off the computer.

MS-DOS identifies the hard disk as drive C and the 3 

diskette drive as drive A. If you have an external 5 

diskette drive, MS-DOS identifies that drive as drive B.
