- Problem with WB 2.1:
-
- Help! I just got the 2.1 "Enhancer" and _love_ it except for
- one small detail:
-
- The "path" command no longer works!
-
- Well, actually, it works if I pop up a shell and type:
-
- path SYS:Tools add
-
- But, I can't get the path command to work while in the startup-sequence.
- I get no errors, no messages, just nothing.
-
- For instance, in my startup-sequence, I put the following:
-
- path System2.1:Tools add
-
- and deleted the huge path assigment included (with no "add" on the end)
-
- The is the ONLY change in the startup-sequence and I am running NO
- commodities or utilities. Just the "stock" system.
-
- After the system boots up, I open a shell, type "path show" and
- I get:
-
- Current_directory
- C:
-
- OK, what happened to my Tools addition? It did not take place.
- Now, if I type "path System2.1:Tools add" then type "path show" I get:
-
- Current_directory
- System2.1:Tools
- C:
-
- What's the deal? I _NEED_ those path assignments.
- They don't work while in a script! Not even in "user-startup"
-
- What can I do?
