The message tells you the switches you should use to set the

speed to high or low. At the MS-DOS prompt, type the

ESPEED command again and include the appropriate switch,

such as the following:

ESPEED L

This command changes the processor speed to low.

To 

see 

the current CPU speed, 

type ESPEED 

only and press

Enter. You 

see the following:

< + >

: Speed Up

: Speed Down

<Esc>: Exit

The processor speed you set remains in effect until you press the

button or turn off the computer, or until you change it

using the SETUP program, a keyboard command, or the

ESPEED 

program again.

Entering the ESPEED command in a batch file

You may want to run the ESPEED program by including the

command in a batch file. For example, if you have a program

called 

SAMPLE 

which requires a slower processor speed, you

could include the following commands in a batch file to start
the 

SAMPLE 

program:

ESPEED L

SAMPLE

You could name the batch file 

SAMP.BAT. 

Whenever you

need to run the 

SAMPLE 

program, insert the program diskette

in drive A. Then type 

SAMP 

and press 

Enter. 

The computer

changes the speed to low and starts the SAMPLE program.

See your MS-DOS Reference Manual for instructions on

creating and using batch files.
