Problem

Solutions: In DR DOS, users can change the name of the file which DOS executes at bootup (e.g., MY_BAT.BAT instead of AUTOEXEC.BAT). To determine which file is being used, customers can check the CONFIG.SYS file. The line will appear as follows: SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM /P:MY_BAT.BAT. The /P:.xxx specifies what filename to execute. Even if the AUTOEXEC.BAT file exists, it will not be read if a different filename is specified on this line.
