A particularly useful batch file you may want to use is called
AUTOEXEC.BAT. Every time you turn on your computer,

MS-DOS looks for the

AUTOEXEC.BAT file and

automatically executes each of the commands.

When you install MS-DOS, it automatically creates an
AUTOEXEC.BAT file for you. To create or modify the
AUTOEXEC.BAT file, you can use the same programs that you

use to create any other batch file (COPY, EDLIN, or a word

processing program that can save a file as a text-only file).

However, be sure to name the file AUTOEXEC.BAT and store

it in the root directory of the hard disk or diskette from which

you load MS-DOS.

See your MS-DOS Reference Manual for more information
about your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

Changing the Processor Speed

Your computer’s processor can operate at two speeds: high and

low. High speed is 16 MHz and low speed simulates an 8 MHz

processor speed. On high, the computer can access memory
faster than on low. Your processor is set to operate at high speed
unless you change the speed to low or set the speed to change
automatically.

Note
When your computer is operating at high speed, the TURBO
