ocr: - have included here a sample of an AUTOEXEC.BAT file. You will notice that I have the SYS directory in my path statement. If you have small utility files and program files this is a good place to put them, in the SYS directory. By having the SYS directory in your Path you can access them from anywhere you are at a DOS prompt. use several small directories to keep track of where these little program files are. I have over 100 Batch files stored in the directory BAT which is in my Path and allows quick execution from any Prompt. I also use the Directory MEM for Memory files.
