     filespec       is the specification of  any  file  containing  an
                    executable program.
                         Default file type - .EXE

     /switch        is   /USE-SECTION:n
                         specifies the memory section (from  0  to  37
                         octal)  into  which  your  program  is  to be
                         loaded.  You can use this switch only if your
