SYMPTOM:

With the shipping NetWare v4.10 MAP.EXE, the current path of
search drives mapped as root drives is not searched; rather, the
root is always searched. For example, if you
 MAP ROOT S1:=SYS:\PUBLIC
 then
 CD SYS:PUBLIC\UTILS
 the UTILS directory will not be searched. This is a result of
the PATH statement being changed to PATH=Z:. (current directory)
instead of PATH=Z:\ (root directory) as was the case in earlier
versions of NetWare.
