Basic Dos Question

MERRICKMERRICK In the studio or on a stage
edited July 2003 in Science & Tech
Hi. I've added a help file to a 98SE boot disk but the only way to get to it is: A:\help

I'd like to add it to the actual boot menu. I've edited the config.sys file like so:

menuitem=HELP, HELP

[HELP]
device=himem.sys /testmem:off
Help.bat

Help.bat in notepad:
@echo off
edit A:\readme.txt

But when I click
4.HELP
On the boot menu, nothing, nada, zilcherini.

What Am I doing wrong??

Any help is appreciated

    Okay Let me simplify:

    Does anyone know how to edit/customize the Boot Menu on a 98SE Boot disk to include an option (4.) to open a .txt (e.g. Help)
    without first needing to go to A:\Help

    Another angle:
    How can I directly access my Help.bat file from the Boot Menu?

    Thanks!

    Moved to general software to see if you can get more help :) I wasn't using PC's for DOS ;[
