Re: TurboCNC and general computer questions

CTRl P toggles keyboard input to the printer? Look in the C:\Windows
directory for an Autoexec.? file that is loaded then Windows is
booted. Compare this with the one that Dos uses during a Dos bootup.
The autoexec.bat file for a Dos boot is located in C:\. Something is
missing. It's been a long time for me with W95 and Dos. May be a
problem with config.sys
