There was also a way to automate actions to occur on login.  My PC motherboard or RAM went flaky and started crashing after a few minutes in Windows.  Not enough time to do much.  So I wrote a login script that would go to my email and each of my message boards and newsgroups, downloading any new messages quickly enough before it crashed.  Then I&#x27;d boot to DOS and take my time reading and preparing responses.  Then reboot to Windows and hope the responses all got sent before the system crashed.
