There could be a confusion in terminology here.
1. In the line "C:\ARACHNE\RHUBARB.TXT" the part "C:\ARACHNE\" is
commonly refered to as the path to that file. This is the most
common meaning of the term "path".
2. There is an environment variable PATH which is a list of
default paths for DOS to search when looking for an
executeable that has been specified without a path in a
command.
3. There is also the path that is usually displayed in the DOS
prompt, which is the path to the current drive and directory.
I mentioned this in case you and Rob and Lester were talking at
cross-purposes.
