[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Extending PATH

alu@erc3ba.UUCP (Alan Lustiger) (03/29/89)

How do you extend the PATH statement past 140 characters? I am
not asking about the environment; only the PATH. We are using
AT&T DOS 3.3.

Please reply to me, and I'll summarize if there is interest.

Try using GWBASIC. Should work to 255 characters.
 
10 x$ = ENVIRON$("PATH")
20 ENVIRON$(x$+"\BLAH\")
