SUBJECT: DOS PATH length limit

DOS command lines seem to be limited to about 153 characters in length.
The PATH symbol is usually established on DOS command line.  Apparently
then, the PATH symbol cannot be longer than 147 characters even if the
environment space would allow for it.

What are the easiest, fastest, least costly ways to work around this
limitation?
