I'm new at Windows, so this is probably an easy question.  (Is there a FAQ
list somewhere?)   How do I change the master copy of the Path from within
Windows?  What I want is the equivalent of the PATH command in COMMAND.COM;
just opening a DOS window and using it doesn't work, because the change is
local to that window.

Please send replies by email; if anyone is interested, I'll summarize back
to this group.
