I am looking for a simple way to set the environment variables in
the command processor (COMMAND.COM) when their values are > 128
characters in length. For example I have a PATH string 
approx. 180 characters in length so using set PATH=<pathstring> won't 
work. A program with source would be best (I need to use it in my 
AUTOEXEC.BAT as well as other batch files). Any pointers to, or copies
of, such programs would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
