- COMMAND: PATH (Set Search Directory)
-
- FUNCTION: Causes specified directories to be searched for commands or batch
- files that were not found by a search of the current directory.
-
- FORMAT: PATH [d:]path[[;[d:]path]...]
-
- TYPE: DOS internal command
-
- REMARKS: Entering PATH with no parameters displays the search paths currently
- defined to DOS. Entering PATH with only a semicolon (PATH;) resets
- the search path to null (no extended search path), which is also
- the default search path. Syntax errors in the command line are not
- detected until DOS attempts to search the specified paths. Non-
- existent paths are ignored. The extended path search is utilized
- only for those files with extensions .EXE,.COM or .BAT.
