  3.  * ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *
  4.  * Purpose:     Loads an OS/2 program as a presentation manager icon.       *
  5.  * ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *
  6.  * Type:        External command, used in the OS/2 session only.            *
  7.  * ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *
  8.  * Syntax:      LOAD "session title" /FS|/WIN|/PM [/I] [/ICON=iconName]     *
  9.  *                   command [options]                                      *
  10.  * ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *
  11.  * Parameters:  session title                                               *
  12.  *              This variable specifies the title of the new session as it  *
  13.  *              will appear in the Task Manager. The session title may be   *
  14.  *              up to 31 characters long and must be surrounded by          *
  15.  *              quotation marks.                                            *
  16.  *                                                                          *
  17.  *              /FS                                                         *
  18.  *              This parameter tells MS OS/2 that the application is        *
  19.  *              not window compatible and must be run in a full-screen      *
  20.  *              session.                                                    *
  21.  *                                                                          *
  22.  *              /WIN                                                        *
  23.  *              This parameter tells MS OS/2 that the application is to be  *
  24.  *              run in a presentation manager window.                       *
  25.  *                                                                          *
  26.  *              /PM                                                         *
  27.  *              This parameter tells MS OS/2 that the application is a      *
  28.  *              Presentation Manager application.                           *
  29.  *                                                                          *
  30.  *              /I                                                          *
  31.  *              This parameter causes the program being loaded to inherit   *
  32.  *              the environment set in the CONFIG.SYS file.                 *
  33.  *                                                                          *
  34.  *              /ICON=iconName                                              *
  35.  *              This parameter is used to specify the path and file name    *
  36.  *              of the icon file associated with the application.           *
  37.  *              If the icon file is not in the current directory, the       *
  38.  *              full pathname of the icon file is required.                 *
  39.  *                                                                          *
  40.  *              command                                                     *
  41.  *              This variable specifies the name and extension of the       *
  42.  *              program to be loaded.                                       *
  43.  *                                                                          *
  44.  *              options                                                     *
  45.  *              This variable specifies any command line arguments that     *
  46.  *              are to be passed to the program being loaded.               *
