This sample file describes how to avoid the loading of the personal accessories at the startup of the Olivetti Quaderno V30. You will be asked, whether you want it to be loaded or not. The variable "10" (see below) is the time in seconds for the Quaderno to wait. You can change this time to meet your requirements. If you don't press "Yes" before the time set is over, the Quaderno will boot to a clean DOS with no PA-programs. So you will have up to 627kB RAM free for your applications to run. choice /T:n,10 <--- Simply delete these remarks, rename the file to "autoexec.bat" and copy it to drive d:\.
