Run a DOS program automatically when closing System Manager.

If you always run the same DOS program when you terminate System Manager, you can set things up so that it automatically runs when you exit to DOS, and you automatically return to the System Manager when you quit the DOS application. Follow these steps:

1. Open Memo, and load your AUTOEXEC.BAT file in Memo.

2. Replace the last line of your AUTOEXEC.BAT file (`100 or 200) to the following using dosmenu as an example of a DOS program you might want to load automatically.

:Loop

100

dosmenu

goto Loop

Press (MENU) File Save, press (F10) and then reboot. With this modification, the dosmenu program is launched whenever you terminate System Manager by pressing (&...) (MENU) Application Terminate All. When you leave dosmenu, System Manager is loaded again.
