In it's present version, it checks the system path and the boot drive and
loads the following files:
AUTOEXEC.BAT
CONFIG.SYS
FDCONFIG.SYS
PROTOCOL.INI
WIN.INI
SYSTEM.INI
FDCONFIG.SYS was added in 2003. I never added FDAUTO.BAT, although I could.
I don't remember why either.
I'll try to find someone on that project that may be willing to assist me
with the syntax highlighting. I'm also looking at SETEDIT.
