   I'm not entirely sure myself regarding what they meant by "parsed" in that   
   context. Cause, a batch file's code _must_ be parsed in order to be   
   executed.   
      
   All MS-DOS v7 (Win98), v6.22, and v5.00 have no problem executing another   
   batch file using CALL command during the OS startup.
