Assume that some of the directories on hard disk C: were as 
follows:

		     C:			ROOT DIRECTORY
		 ---------
		/    |    \
	       /     |     \
	      /      |      \
	     /       |       \
	 PROJECTS  TESTS   BUDGETS	SUBDIRECTORIES
		   -----
		  /     \
		 /       \                 additional
	      DONE      PENDING		SUBDIRECTORIES


     In the sample disk structure above we have subdirectories 
PROJECTS, TESTS, BUDGETS, DONE, and PENDING.  

SAMPLE command to use PATH     | Comments about the output

  PATH C:\PROJECTS;C:\TESTS\DONE This command instructs DOS to search the
				 PROJECTS and TESTS\DONE directories
				 for a command that is not specified with
				 a pathname if the program to respond to
				 that command is not found in the current
				 directory.

  PATH ;			 This is how you reset the path back to
				 the current directory only.

  PATH				 To see what directory paths are
No Path				 currently specified, simply type PATH
				 with no options.  In this case, there
				 are no directories to be searched other
				 than the current directory.

				 If you use this command when you first
  PATH \			 start your computer, the root directory
				 in the current disk drive (that hopefully
				 contains DOS and the external commands)
				 will always be searched, no matter what 
				 your current directory is. \ stands for 
				 the root directory.
