Arachne at FreeLists---The Arachne Fan Club!

Hi Rob,
                I don't know 'nix or Freedos. 
I just know that looks nothing like what
I get when I type PATH at the prompt and
press ENTER. That looks to me like the
path to his files in his "bin" directory.
Does Freedos have a different way of
displaying the path ?
