BTW, I have never seen a working DOS setup that
only had one directory in it's path. That would mean
that everything would have to be put into that directory
to be globally accessible. That would be poor organization
of files in my opinion.

I've seen lots of setups where the path only contains one or two
directories. Lots of people(lots is relative I suppose) either cd to the
dir before they execute a program, create bat files in a common already in
the path to execute programs, or type the full path. My path on my dos
machine only has two dirs and I never run anything that's in the 2nd.
Actually, I prefer this to adding a dir to the path for every program you
install. The path would be very long for me in that case. Is there a limit
to how long the path can be?
That doesn't preclude the fact that you thinks it's poor organization of
files :)
