I'm sure you know how to write an autoexec.bat file but if you'd like
here is mine ...

rem This is essentially the DOS autoexec.bat.
rem =========================================

******************

rem At startup, C: is the only drive letter known by vDos.
rem But this vDos C: is NOT Windows C: !!!

rem vDos drive letters don't have to match those of Windows.
rem It's even adviced they don't, to limit access to the Windows file system.

rem The USE command assigns vDos drive letters to Windows drives, folders,
rem or network shares. The command syntax is:
rem USE <vDos drive letter:> <Windows drive:|folder|network share>\
rem Examples: USE C: D:\dosprog\, USE F: \\server\share\dosprog\.

rem By default C: is assigned to the folder vDos.exe is started from.
rem Call the batch file that launches the DataPerfect demo program:
CALL DPTEST\STARTDP 

@ECHO OFF
rem The demo program was closed, and we return here.
rem Eventually add EXIT to close the vDos window.

rem USE C: C:\MUNCHER\Convert

USE C: C:\MUNCHER\ 

***********************

Muncher is my directory containing MM and its utilities (like MMconv).
You, of course, will name your directories as suits you.   Bv)=

Once I have booted vDos and pumped the F7 key twice to settle things 
into place I use the Windows key w/F11 to shrink the window to a size
I like. If you get it too small Windows-F12 increases the size. Then
just a simple MM and a "y' and you're up and running Meal Master.
