Lines: 15 Xref: linus net.micro.pc:6875 net.micro.ti:142 I am using a 'more' program that was posted some time ago. It allows you to enter the editor by typing 'e'. It works fine but, when I add the line: switchar=- to my config.sys file, trying to enter the editor from more causes the error: Specified COMMAND search directory bad and doing a set shows that PATH is empty and COMPSPEC is the only other environment variable set. I've tried setting the SHELL in the config.sys file and changing the PATH to use '/' instead of '\' but, I've had no luck. Does anybody know what the problem might be? Thanks for your help, Fred Hollander Penn State
