I'll probably get told to RTFM on this one, but here goes, anyways: Does
MS-DOS read a batch file as it's running from disk, or does it load it all
into memory at the beginning? In other words, if I have an autoexec.bat file
that loads in a new autoexec.bat file, It will try to start running the 2nd
file, right?

Thanks in advance!
