autoexec.bat is solely used by the DOS environment, startup.cmd fulfills that
role in the OS/2 environment.

You can set an other batchfile to autoexecute in the DOS setting
"DOS_AUTOEXEC", for each object that starts a DOS program / DOS environment
independent. Setup the autoexec.bat on the OS/2 boot partition for the needs
of your most DOS programs, and use other batchfiles pointed to by the
"DOS_AUTOEXEC" DOS setting of each DOS object that have special needs. You can 
finetune the other DOS settings too. You can also save and restore DOS
settings, so you don't have to set all the DOS settings by hand again when the 
WPS object lost its DOS settings or when the WPS object was lost and a new one 
was created to replace the lost WPS object.
