The S: directory is the starting point of the Amiga's boot as it contains the script files required to turn the computer from the drab insert a disk screen into a powerful graphical operating system. The directory contains a number of files that, in no-technical terms tell the Amiga what to do. These are sometimes called startup files.

The basic workbench disk contains the following script files,

File Function

Dpat: - Internal commands for the Shell. These increase the flexibility of the Shell program, providing uses such as Shell History.

ED-Startup: - Contains the configuration file for the text editor, ED.

PCD: - The script that enables the Shell to remember the previous directory.

Shell-startup: - The preference file for the Shell.

Startup-Sequence: - The startup script that tells the Amiga what to do when a disk is inserted on boot up. This is the same as the AUTOEXEC.BAT file on PC.
