DOS 5.0 MACROS

"The Macro Starter Kit" is a collection of 19 macros for MS-DOS 5, which is
required.  Each macro is described in this manual.  The macros are:

    format         mbeep          mclear         mdate
    mdir           mfilelist      mfind          mformfeed
    mhelp          mlinefeed      mlinefeed8     mmd
    mmem           mparent        mprint         mroot
    mtime          mtype          mwhereis


Installation

(1)  The following command should be in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:

    doskey /bufsize=1024>nul

This needs to be in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file because the buffer size should
only be set once.  Don't forget to reboot.

Beware:  The MACROS.BAT file contains "control characters," such as beep,
formfeed, and linefeed characters.

(2)  When you have the MACROS.BAT file like you want it, add the following
line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:

  call macros

This will run your batch file for you.  Don't forget to put this line in
your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.elow the line specified in Step 2, above.

Notes:

  The ^ character indicates a control character.  For example, ^L means
  "control L", which is the character to send a formfeed to a printer.

  Each macro, except format, begins with an "m", for "macro".  This is so
  the macro names should not conflict with utility and batch file names.
