Command: install

  INSTALL runs a TSR program (a program that stays in memory), without
  an environment, instead of using something like lh or loadhigh.
  INSTALL loads a TSR program into low or conventional memory,
  whereas INSTALLHIGH loads the TSR program into high memory.
  INSTALL is a CONFIG.SYS / FDCONFIG.SYS command.

  install=[drive][path]filename [options]

          path      The directory, e.g. \example\

Comments:

  INSTALL loads the program specified by drive:\path\filename. It is
  generally used to load TSR (terminate and stay resident) programs with
  a minimal environment block. The options are for the program itself;
  refer to documentation that came with your particular software for
  supported options and usage.
  INSTALL is a command internal to kernel.sys and needs no other file
  in order to work.
