Topic: How to tell ESXDOS to start on a directory different from the root

HI there!

I'm a passionate user of ESXDOS on the ZX-UNO.
I've been trying to convince ESXDOS to enter a directory called ZX on boot. To do so, I made this small BASIC program and stored it as /SYS/AUTOBOOT.BAS (to save it I do SAVE *"AUTOBOOT.BAS" while I am on the SYS directory):

10 .cd /ZX

I have also tried:

10 : .cd /ZX

and:

10 .cd /ZX/

etc...

The directory DOES exist on the root of the SD card, the SD card works from ESXDOS with no other problems, and of course AUTOBOOT feature is activated in /SYS/CONFIG/ESXDOS.CFG

Any ideas on why it does'n enter ZX on boot then?

Have you saved with  SAVE *"AUTOBOOT.BAS" LINE 10 ?

What does that line do exactly that's different from the other save line?

AUTOBOOT.BAS can be found but without the "LINE 10" (the start line in Basic) will not start.
