That second line would be executed as
set path=c:\;c:\dos;c:\batch;c:\dosinet;c:\programs,C:\myapps
If you leave echo turned on, you will see this.

No, it rewrites the path variable. The end result is the same, but the
whole line has to be put into the command buffer before the PATH
variable can be rewritten.
DAMMITOL!
HASN'T ANYONE BOTHERED TO TRY THIS IN A BATCH FILE WITH ECHO TURNED ON?
SHEEEEESH! I'm fed up to the eyeballs with all this theorizing from
people who are too lazy (or whatever) to try it for themselves!
