I have a recollection that this was previously discussed here,
which if it was I regret cluttering the network with a repeat
of it.  However, I am in need of how to set long Paths in DOS.

I am running DOS 3.3, and have been able to set paths in the
range of 125 characters or so.  I have played around with the
SHELL command and the /E parameter, but I've only been able 
to expand it by a character or two this way it seems.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
