- Have you ever wished you could add a subdirectory to your path without
- having to retype the entire thing? Now you can!
-
- The program EPATH is based on a utility program by Charles Petzold in
- PC Magazine Volume 6, Number 8 (April 28, 1987). It uses an undocumented
- interrupt (25H) to change the path.
-
- You can use EPATH just like the PATH command. Any path you put on the
- command line will replace the existing path.
-
- If you run EPATH with no parameters on the command line, it will, like
- PATH, display the existing path. At this point EPATH and PATH differ.
- With EPATH you can now use the DOS editing keys to change the path!
-
- If you hit the F3 function key, the entire path will be echoed and the
- cursor will be at the end of the path. A new subdirectory can be added
- if desired. Or you can use the right and left arrow keys to move the
- cursor to any point in the path, then use the <Ins> or <del> keys to
- add or remove a subdirectory anywhere within the path.
-
- One caution: If you are using a long path, be sure you have enough space
- in your environment to hold the entire path.
