SETTING THE PATH

It is to your advantage to be able to execute the programs from any subdirectory you may be in. To do this, you may have to designate a path in your autoexec.bat file using the DOS "Path" command. When using a hard drive, you may frequently be in a directory other than the one the programs are in.

The "Path" command allows you to execute a program when it is not in the current directory. In order to execute the ToolBox programs from anywhere, put them in a directory which is included in your path. To find out what your PATH is currently set to, type "PATH" on a DOS command line. For example, if your PATH is


   C:\;C:\DOS;C:\UTILITY;

you may want to put the ToolBox programs in the C:\UTILITY directory. If you have not set a path, refer to your MS-DOS manual or your friendly neighborhood computer wizard as to how to do this.
