     Name
          FORCEHI - Reserves low memory so that drivers or filters can
          be forced into high memory.

     Syntax
          forcehi [ -qrf?h ] [ ; next command ]

     Description
          Forcehi allows the user to lock low memory so that any
          drivers or filters that are subsequently loaded will be
          forced to use high memory instead of low memory.  Since low
          memory is a limited resource and some drivers can only be
          loaded into low memory, forcehi can be used to force drivers
          and filters that can be run in high memory to use high
          memory, leaving low memory available for the drivers that
          require it.

          Forcehi accepts several options.  Options are specified by
          single characters, and they may be entered in upper or
          lowercase.  Options are always preceded by a hyphen (a "-").
          If you are specifying multiple options, you can specify the
          options in any of these formats:
                -a -b -c   or   -abc   or   -a -bc   or  -ab -c

          The options are:

          -q   This option causes forcehi to run silently.  No
               messages are displayed if everything works like it
               should.  If errors occur, they are reported.

          -r   By default, forcehi will reserve low memory so that no
               other drivers can be loaded there.  The -r option
               releases any memory that was reserved by forcehi.

          -f   Similar to the -q, except that forcehi will not display
               any messages, even if the requested action fails.

          -? or -h
               Displays the help message.

          ; next command
               After forcehi completes, the remainder of the command
               line is executed as a second command.  The command
               forcehi;set *cl com will reserve all of low memory, and
               then the RS-232 driver will be loaded.

     Notes
          Forcehi will not cause a driver that can only run in low
          memory to be usable in high memory.

          The sysgen(L) command should not be used while forcehi has
          memory reserved.  You can determine if forcehi is holding
          memory by using the mapmem(U1) command to examine the
          contents of memory.

     Files
          No files are accessed by forcehi.
