Command: loadhigh (lh)

  LOADHIGH loads a program into the upper memory area.
  Since LOADHIGH loads the program into high memory there 
  remains more free space in low or conventional memory 
  for other programs.
  LOADHIGH is a BATCH-FILE / AUTOEXEC.BAT command.
  It can also be used in command line.

Syntax:

  LOADHIGH [drive][path]filename [parameters]
  LOADHIGH [/L:region1[,minsize1][;region2[,minsize2]...] [/S] [/?]]
           [drive][path]filename [parameters]
           drive     The drive letter, e.g. C:
           path      The directory, e.g. \example\
           filename  The name of the program to load into the upper 
                     memory area, e.g. edit.exe

Options:

  /L:region1[,minsize1][;region2[,minsize2]]...
                Specifies the region(s) of memory into which to load 
                the program. Region1 specifies the number of the first 
                memory region; minsize1 specifies the minimum size, if 
                any, for region1. Region2 and minsize2 specify the 
                number and minimum size of the second region, if any. 
                You can specify as many regions as you want.
  /S            Shrinks a UMB to its minimum size while the program is
                loading.
  /?            Shows the help.
  parameters    These are the options to the program that you are loading.

Comments:

  LOADHIGH can also be used outside a batch file.
  To load up a driver or a program into high memory you first
  have to load a driver like (HIMEM), HIMEMX, JEMMEX, (EMM386)
  or JEMM386 in config.sys. You can also use LH instead of LOADHIGH.
  LOADHIGH is a command internal to command.com and needs no other file
  in order to work.

Examples:

  IN A .BAT FILE / AUTOEXEC.BAT:
    loadhigh c:\fdos\bin\edit.exe
