If you really need all those entries in your PATH, try using
drive letters as SUBSTitutes for entire paths (see the SUBST
command in your DOS documentation for more details). For
example, if you say: SUBST G C:\DOS\UTILS then you can use
the drive G: as a substitute for the path C:\DOS\UTILS. Be sure
to configure a sufficient number of drive letters with the
LASTDRIVE= command in CONFIG.SYS. I normally run LASTDRIVE=Z, so
that I can use SUBST freely.

Hello Bradley.I am a bit unsure on posting messages to Usenet since
I haven't got any replies yet.Does one have to include the following
two lines to the addressee as you have below or is the name in the
message header on top left sufficient?With normal Qmail system it is.

I replied to the same person using your format and hope it gets
through.
