NEWFILE
command) and the
remainder of the startup process will be completed.
NEWFILE
commands can be nested. The original
CONFIG.SYS
can call a
second set of instructions via the
NEWFILE
command. The second file can in
turn call a third file by using the
NEWFILE
command, and so on. Be sure that
each filename in the successive steps has a unique name, otherwise, an infinite
loop will be created as control is passed back to the same file repeatedly.
Each filename given in a
NEWFILE
command line will have an environment
variable of the same name.
