Your LOGIN.COM file can define an EDIT/TECO command with preset qualifiers if desired. The qualifiers /NOCOMMAND, /NOCREATE, and /NOMEMORY are always recognized so that they can be preset at command definition time. To disable all TECO start up actions you would use TECO == "EDIT/TECO/NOCOMMAND/NOCREATE/NOMEMORY" To disable only TECO's memory you would use TECO == "EDIT/TECO/NOMEMORY" Etc.
