- AUTOEXEC.BAT is for those commands you want run with every DOS
- session. To run commands only for a particular DOS session, just
- write a batch file.
-
- OS/2 2.1 (or whatever the version) will add an option to select the
- AUTOEXEC.BAT file to be run. It won't really add anything in terms of
- features, but it will make things more convenient.
