The file can be named anything, and you may create differing files
for each type of DOS or WinOS2 session you run. I have for example
a batch loading file for WordStar (AUTOWS.BAT, which loads TSR
SWITCH.COM to swap the Ctrl and CapsLock keys), and another for a plain
DOS session (AUTODOS.BAT). These files all end with 0D 0A.
