[comp.sys.amiga] Dmouse, path, problems?

     I noticed something kinda strange a few days ago and I hope someone can 
explain why it happens and the best way to fix it.  The problem concerns Matt
Dillon's great Dmouse (v. 1.14) utility.  In my startup-sequence I add several
directories to my search path, and startup Dmouse like this:

path add ram.c sys:bin sys:utilities sys:system sys:s sys:prefs
dmouse -A2 -C Ashell "con:0/11/664/194/Arp1.3"

Then when starting up a Shell with Amiga ESC it starts fine but it 
comes up with a path of: current directory C: instead of the path specified 
in the startup-sequence.  It works fine when invoked from a icon.  I am using
workbench 1.3.2, all of the Arp1.3 commands, and conman (version 1.1 I think).
So why is this happening and how to fix it?

One way I found around the problem is to put the path add command in the
Shell-Startup file although this is one work around is there a better one?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
