If you want to terminate AUTOEXEC.BAT file (or any other
batch file) issue Ctrl C as explained in INTRO.
HOW TO CREATE AN AUTOEXEC.BAT FILE
If, for example, you wanted to automatically load GWBASIC
and run a directory program (called BASPGMS.) EVERY time
time you started DOS(booted),here is how you would create
the AUTOEXEC.BAT file for that purpose:
1. NOTE:if your CURRENT directory is >NOT the ROOT direc-
tory go back to the root directory using CHDIR(CD\) cmnd.
AUTOEXEC.BAT MUST always be in the ROOT directory so that
DOS can find it when you start your system.
2. Type:
COPY CON: AUTOEXEC.BAT
This statement tells DOS to copy the information you en-
ter through the keyboard (CONsole) to AUTOEXEC.BAT!
AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
3. Now type:
GWBASIC BASPGMS
This statement goes into the >>>AUYTOEXECBAT file to tell
DOS to load GWBASIC and run the directory program.
4. Press the CTRL and Z keys BOTH at once, then release &
hit RETURN. YOU'VE DONE IT! PERHAPS YOUR FIRST "BATCHING"
--& BASPGMS will now run automatically whenever you boot!
