VECTOR 4 USER'S
MANUAL
VECTOR 4 CP/M TRANSIENT
COMMANDS
As
an
example,
recall
from
the
section
above on
the
CONFIG
1/2/3/4
command
that
you
can
enter
CONFIG
#
to
select
a
printer
from
the
two
list
devices
for
which your system is
set
up_
If
you want
to
select
that
printer
each time
you
boot
the
system,
you
can
use
the
CONFIG A
option
to
set
up
your
computer for exactly this kind of "custom sign-on", in
the
following way.
1.
Enter
CONFIG A [RETURN]. The
screen
will display:

ENTER DESIRED SELECTION:
The
line
which
shows
current
command assigned may, of course, be
different
on your system. However,
if
you
are
just
beginning
to
use
your
computer,
there
will probably be
no
command assigned.
2.
Enter
your
choice
for
auto
command. You would
enter
a
to
clear
any
command already selected, 1, 2, or 3 according
to
the
following:
Cold
boot
only [1]: command
will
execute
when
you
first
turn
on
the
power, or when you press
the
[RESET] button,
enter
BYE, or run
another
program which leaves through a cold boot.
Warm
boot only
[2]:
command will execute when a
program
is
run
which
exits
to
the
operating
system,
returning
CP/M
to
the
command level.
(Command will not run on
reset
or power-on.)
Cold
and warm boot [3]: command will
execute
any time CP/M returns
to
the
command level. You should only use option 3
on
a
hard-disk
system
if
the
command you
set
up
allows you
to
access CP/M directly, with
the
option of erasing the
VECTOR.CMD
file; otherwise you will
be
locked
in
the
auto
command program, with
no
chance of exiting, and
the
computer
will
take
over your mind.
