Auke:
   One little caution, for those who are thinking of adding a directory
to their path "on the fly."  It's done by saving the present path as,
usually, "OLDPATH," and in some cases by also saving an intermediate
version as, say, "OPATH."  All well and good, but it means taking up
memory to hold the unused versions, likely requiring that a larger
environment size be specified after the "e:" in the SHELL line in
CONFIG.SYS.  If such a change is to outlast the current session, it's
preferable to edit the PATH directly, and to "REM out" prior versions.
