Greg,
Whatever....you are saying the same thing
that I am in a different way....I didn't say
the "path variable" was 1023 chctrs..
What I said was the "path statement can be made
longer". The path statement includes the "path=".
The path statement is what is printed out on the
screen when I type PATH at the cmnd line and then
press ENTER. I get a statement that looks like
this: "path=c:\;c:\dos" . Please note the "="
sign. I always get an "=", never a space.
