INTRODUCTION
============
This construction looks a lot like the AUTOEXEC.RDS construction,
but it's really different. You can't load MS-DOS executables in
.RDS format so we created the AUTO-directory for situations when
MS-DOS executables need to be loaded.

The RVT Desktop reads the AUTO-directory at boot time and
starts all the .EXE, .COM and .BAT files which are located there.


HOW CAN I CREATE THE 'AUTO' DIRECTORY?
======================================
Go to the RVT main directory (e.g C:\RVTDESK) using the
'cd' command and create the AUTO directory using the 'mkdir'
command which is part of MS-DOS.


Example:
========

C:\>cd rvtdesk
C:\RVTDESK>mkdir auto
C:\RVTDESK>cd auto
C:\RVTDESK\AUTO>

Now the directory named 'auto' is created. Remember file names
and directory names in MS-DOS are not case sensative, so it doesn't
make sense whether you're using upper case or lower case characters
for the directories.

Now you can copy all your .EXE, .COM and .BAT driver files to
to the AUTO-directory. RVT Desktop will start them every time
it boots up.
