This last line would do nothing more than attempt to change to a GEOS20
directory & nothing more.  This line will need to be followed by
LOADER.EXE for the program to load properly.

A "GEOS20" executable would never be searched for, because a filename of
GEOS20 was never specified, only a directory.  If this were to work, you
are saying that GEOS20.BAT will run a file named GEOS20.BAT & therefore
creating an endless loop, correct?
You may know what you're talking about, but just by reading this, I got
a bit confused on how you were trying to explain this.  Nothing negative
meant by it, however.
