The following error messages may be displayed if you use the LOADHIGH
command with a third-party command interpreter:
Unknown or Unrecognized Command Loadhigh
Unknown or Unrecognized Command LH
The above errors occur if you invoke the LOADHIGH or LH command from the
command prompt or from the AUTOEXEC.BAT file with a command interpreter
other than COMMAND.COM.
CAUSE
The internal MS-DOS LOADHIGH (LH) command may not be recognized if you are
using a command interpreter other than COMMAND.COM. For example, releases
earlier than 4.0 of the JP Software command interpreter 4DOS do not
correctly recognize the LOADHIGH command. If this is the case, the SHELL
statement in CONFIG.SYS might read as follows
shell=[drive]:\[dir]\[filename.ext] [drive]:\[dir]\ /p
(where [drive] and [dir] are the drive and directory location of the
command interpreter, and FILENAME.EXT is the name of the command
interpreter).
RESOLUTION
If the SHELL statement refers to a filename other than COMMAND.COM, replace
it with the MS-DOS 5.0 or later COMMAND.COM (and its correct drive and
path). Save the file and reboot the computer. You can now use the LOADHIGH
(LH) command from the MS-DOS command prompt or from the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
