I take it you're running Windows?
If so then PATH is an environment variable that allows you to run any
command in its directories from anywhere. Example:
c:\> path=c:\windows;c:\windows\command
c:\> dir *.exe
Volume in drive C has no label
Volume Serial Number is 07D1-0502
Directory of C:\
File not found
17,223.45 MB free
c:\> ipconfig
Windows 98 IP configuration
1 Ethernet adapter:
IP address. . . . . . . . : 10.10.10.107
In this example, ipconfig.exe is actually in c:\windows, but I can run it
from c:\ because my PATH variable includes c:\windows.
You can find out your current path settings by typing "path" at a DOS
prompt, and you can add your own by modifying your autoexec.bat file.
