SYMPTOMS
The following error messages may be displayed if you use the LOADHIGH command with a third-party command interpreter:

Unknown or Unrecognized Command Loadhigh

-or-

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.
