To enter these commands, hold down the

Ctrl

key and the

Alt key and press the +, -, or * key located cm the numeric keypad.
The speed setting remains in effect until you press the

RESET

button or turn off the computer, or until you change it again
using the Setup program, another keyboard command, or the

ESPEED program, described below.

Using the ESPEED Program

The ESPEED program allows you to change the processor speed

to high or low, or set the speed to change automatically. This
method is convenient if your application program does not

recognize

the

Ctrl

keyboard commands or if you want to include

the program command in a batch file.

The ESPEED program is provided with your system on the
Reference diskette. If you do not have a hard disk, insert your
Reference diskette in drive A and log onto drive A before you

enter the command to start the program.

If you have a hard disk drive, copy the file ESPEED.EXE from

your Reference diskette onto your hard disk-if you have not

already done so-and run the program from there. (See

Chapter 3 for more information.)

To run the ESPEED program, type the following at the

MS-DOS command prompt: and press

Enter:

ESPEED

You see the following message:
