In DEC DATATRIEVE you can have a startup file that is executed
each time you invoke DEC DATATRIEVE. To set up a startup file,
create a file containing the DEC DATATRIEVE commands you want
performed at the beginning of each DEC DATATRIEVE session. Then
create a logical name DTR$STARTUP that points to the file.
For example, you could include the following in your LOGIN.COM
file:
$ ASSIGN "DISK3:[MORRISON]DTRSTART.COM" DTR$STARTUP
Whenever you invoke DEC DATATRIEVE, it starts by looking for the
file pointed to by DTR$STARTUP and processing all the commands
contained in that file.
