ROM-DOS Internal Commands 4-69

S W I T C H E S

CONFIG.SYS Command

The SWITCHES command allows special CONFIG.SYS file options.

Syntax

SWITCHES=[/k][/n][/f]

Remarks

The /k argument makes an enhanced keyboard behave like a
conventional keyboard.

The /n argument prevents the use of the F5 and F8 function keys to
bypass the startup commands.

The /f argument instructs ROM-DOS to skip the delay after displaying the
“Starting ROM-DOS...” message at boot time. The delay allows you time
to use the F5 and F8 options to alter the processing of the CONFIG.SYS
and AUTOEXEC.BAT files.

Example

switches = /n

Prevents you from using the F5 and F8 keys at boot time.
