Steve Verity asked how to create a path string of 150 charaacters or
so.  I do it in my AUTOEXEC.BAT using batch file variables, as follows:

  SET PATH=c:\bin;c:\dos; ... <etc>
  SET PATH=%PATH%;d:\games;...<etc>
  SET PATH=%PATH%;<more stuff>

This should worlk til your environment is full.  I don't know whether
COMMAND.COM will choke on it before then.  I use a path of about 120
chars.

Hope this helps,
