Is there a program that will allow you to have multiple C directories? I know of the PATH command, but that only seems to work in the current CLI window. I'm looking for something perminant that works in the same way. Any help would be appreciated...

If you set your paths BEFORE LoadWb, all shells started from WB will have those paths. Under 2.0, such paths should be set in s:user-startup 2. use Bill Hawes' "PathMan" under 1.3 or 2.0 3. Under 2.0, the ASSIGN command can add additional paths to an assign such as C: -- ========================================================================== Carolyn Scheppner -- Tech. Mgr.

A PATH command added to S:StartUp-Sequence or S:User-Startup (in 2.0) has global effect. Also (look up the PATH command in the manual, since my memory is usually faulty) you can do "path c: x:y/z add" to make commands in x:y/z as visible as those in sys:c. I don't remember whether to order of added paths is important (moot, unless you have commands of the same name; e.g. arp replacement, etc.) H

Well, you should use the PATH command in your Shell-Startup. Every new shell will get the same (multiple) pathes, I think, this is want you want, right?

If I understand the above statement correctly, an assign can be made to refer to several paths as opposed to just one (as in 1.3). Effectively C: can be viewed as an equivalent to the PATH environment variable under UNIX. If I got this right, can someone please tell me what happens if I say things like dir c: cd c: copy foo c: where c: has been assigned to multiple paths ? Also, does this enhancement to assigns mean that I can place shared libraries and fonts in multiple directories and have them searched for without having to re-assign FONTS: and LIBS: everytime ? If so, a big hooray for Commodore ! Thanks, Mike

When I opened a Shell it only had C: and current directory in the path even though my S:Startup-Sequence has set a number of other directories in the path. To fix this problem I added PATH RESET and then PATH ... ... ... ... ... (where ... is the different directories I wanted in the path) to my S:Shell-Startup. >Peter Eichler VOICE: (+)49 421 530642 SYSTEM : Amiga 3000,6MB RAM ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | Darrell Grainger (darrell@comspec) |Comspec Communications Inc. | | Toronto, Ontario, Canada |Disclaimer: My opinions do not | | (416)617-1475 (416)633-5605 |reflect those of my employer. | |------------------------------------+-------------------------------| | Motorcycle: Honda PC800 | Computer:Amiga 2000 | ----------------------------------------------------------------------
