Purpose

Sets the search path for command files that are not in the current
directory.

Syntax

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

Remarks

Without a specified search path, ROM-DOS looks for an external
command file (i.e., one with an extension of BAT, COM, or EXE) only in
the current directory. The PATH command tells ROM-DOS which other
directories to search after searching the current directory.

Typing only the word:

PATH

by itself displays the current path.

If you want to cancel the command paths you set previously, type:

PATH ; or PATH =;

Examples

PATH c:\UTIL;c:\WP;c:\123

Starts application programs on a fixed disk from any drive or directory.
Accesses utilities, a word processor, and a spreadsheet in
subdirectories c:\UTIL, c:\WP, and c:\123, set the path command.
