WordStar 3.30 does not recognize path names since it must
use the system calls that are compatible with DOS 1.1. You
have to be positioned in the correct directory when invoking
WS. One thing I have done is to put the WS overlays and help
files on a RAM disk and specified this as my 'system' disk
so I don't have to have a copy every place I want to use it.
By also using the PATH option of DOS 2.0 you can leave the
WS.COM in one place, so it really doesn't become much of a
problem.
