# 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.
