A pertinent area is any you run programs from.  From what you're describing, 
Cmd.Exe is 'getting lost' trying to execute.  You're calling Unzip from the 
Squish directory and tossing the mail into your message bases, therefore, you 
should have all those areas in your path statement.  Also, the segment from 
your COMPRESS.CFG file should look like this:
===Cut===
; ----- OS/2 version -----
[...]
; Phil Katz's PKZip
Archiver ZIP
        Extension       ZIP
        Ident       0,504b0304    ; "PK^c^d"
OS2   Add           zip -9jk %a %f
DOS   Add           Pkzip -a %a %f
OS2   Extract       unzip -ojC %a %f
DOS   Extract       Pkunzip -n %a %f 
OS2   View          zip -v %a
DOS   View          Pkunzip -v %a 
End Archiver
===Cut===
Since you are having no trouble running it from the command line, it is safe 
to presume you're using the latest versions of Zip/Unzip, correct?
