Note
Loading and Unloading the Status Display
If you choose to add REPORT to your Autoexec.bat file, the Status
Display is loaded and becomes resident in your computer’s memory
automatically whenever you start up your computer. The following
explains the procedure you should use to manually load the Status
Display, how to remove the Status Display from memory, and how to
change a variety of Status Display settings.

To load the Status Display from the DOS prompt

Type the following at the DOS prompt to display the Status Display
screen:
1. Change to the directory you created under “Installing DOS Print-
ing Utilities” on page 4-86.
Type : cd c:\mltdos
• If you used the directory name we showed in our installation
example, type in the command exactly as shown above. If you used a
different directory name, change mltdos to the name you used.
2. Type the following command at the DOS prompt.
Type : rep
Installing DOS Printing Utilities updates your AUTOEXEC.BAT, add-
ing a command to load the Status Display at the end of the file. This
means that the Status Display program will be loaded automatically
whenever you turn on your computer or execute AUTOEXEC.BAT.
Note that since the Status Display uses the DOS file system, its load
command in AUTOEXEC.BAT must be located after all disk caching
and disk compression, and after loading of LAN software (such as Net-
ware).
