You'll *love this....

"path xyz" will result in a path variable containing "XYZ"
"set path=xyz" results in a path variable containing "xyz"

Netware expects the path to be uppercased! #^%$^$#*%(
Anyone who has used 4dos with Novell ran into this a long time ago...
As a temporary fix, make sure to use ALL CAPS in any path setting statements.
And point out to Novell that this is a *stupid* assumption to make. 

Anybody know why Novell's menus won't work under 4dos?
