SUMMARY
=======
When you restart Windows 95 in MS-DOS mode, or when MS-DOS mode is set to use
the Use Current Configuration option, SET statements in the Dosstart.bat file
are ignored.
MORE INFORMATION
================
When MS-DOS mode is set to use the Use Current Configuration option, Windows 95
uses a file called Dosstart.bat to load real-mode device drivers. This file is
also used when you restart Windows 95 in MS-DOS mode.
You can edit the Dosstart.bat file to add device drivers or programs. However,
you cannot run SET statements in the Dosstart.bat file because of the way in
which the Command.com file is run.
You can run SET statements in the Autoexec.bat file. These SET statements apply
in all MS-DOS mode sessions that use the Use Current Configuration option, or if
you restart Windows 95 in MS-DOS mode.
