[windows2000] Re: Nested Environ Variables question

Problem here is instead of looking to do it via scripting, the goal is to
set up nested variables within the PATH statement of the System Properties.
As a refresher, is Win2K limited to about 255 characters for the Path
statement?
It has been a while and I've never hit the limit. If Win2K is still
haunted with this restriction, does XP Pro get around it?
Thanks.
