Type: Internal (5.0 and later)
Syntax:
LOADHIGH (LH) [d:][path]filename [parameters]
Purpose: Loads memory resident application into reserved area of
memory
(between 640K-1M).
Discussion
Tells DOS to load the specified program into the upper portion of
memory. This
increases the memory available for use by programs.
You can use the LOADHIGH command with the DOSKEY, DOSSHELL, KEYB,
GRAPHICS,
NLSFUNC, MODE, SHARE, PRINT, and APPEND commands.
NOTE:
LOADHIGH requires a computer with 350K bytes of extended memory. If you
are
using a computer that has a 386 or 486 microprocessor, you should specify
the
EMM386.EXE device driver in your CONFIG.SYS configuration file (refer to
Chapter
6, Tips for Advanced Users, for more information about using the
CONFIG.SYS
configuration file).
Example
To load the DOS Shell into high memory, enter
loadhigh dosshell
For more information about this command, refer to the downloadable book DOS the Easy Way.
