PATH + Searching a Specified Path

Instructs DOS to search a specified path for programs not in

the current directory.

VERSION

PC-DOS 2.0+

MS-DOS equivalent: PATH (2.0+)

TYPE

Internal

SYNTAX

PATH [[d:]path[;[d:]path]]

OPTIONS

[d:] Specifies the letter of the drive(s) to

be included in the search path.

path Specifies the directory of path name(s)

to be included in the search path.

; Separates different drive letters and

path names to be included in the PATH

command statement.

PATH allows you to quickly access programs and batch files

that may be stored in other subdirectories, no matter what

directory you are in.

EXAMPLES

PATH C:\BUSINESS\REPORTS;\BUSINESS\INVOICES

instructs DOS to look first in the default subdirectory, then in

C:\BUSINESS\REPORTS, and then in C:\BUSINESS\INVOICES

to find programs or files.

PATH

displays the current subdirectory on the default drive.

BPATH A:\BUSINESS;A:\

instructs DOS to look first in the current subdirectory in drive

B and then in A:\BUSINESS and A:\.

MESSAGE

No path

No path has been defined for DOS to search. Use the PATH command

to specify a path.

UNDO

To reset the search path to no extended search path, enter

PATH ;

Designating a new PATH command supersedes an earlier PATH

command.

NOTE

You must specify each path completely. To have DOS search on

another drive, specify the drive designation.
