I'm trying to use loader in 7.02 and I can't get it to do what I want it
to do - I don't know if it's user error or program error.  I want to have
Linux as an option in the bootmenu, using a batch file that runs loadlin
with all the necessary arguments.  Can anybody tell me how I should do
this?  I've tried this:

ibmdos.com      D       OpenDOS
linux.bat       B       [5] Linux

as my bootfile and when I choose Linux, it clears the screen and hangs.
Yes the batch file is in the c:\ directory, so I know it must be able to
find it.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  TIA.

At any given moment, an arrow must be either where it is or where it is
not.  But obviously it cannot be where it is not.  And if it is where
it is, that is equivalent to saying that it is at rest.
