It isn't Public Domain, but SDA Associates has a nice little program 
called Filepath that teaches programs (like Wordstar, etc) everything
they need to know about paths.  It is easy to use.  I put it in a batch
file for automatic start up.

I am NOT connected with SDA except as a happy user of Filepath.
