- Of course.

- Say you have NOTHING in DF0:C, and you have all your commands (that
- WOULD be in DF0:C) in X: (DF0:X).
-
- You'd put, in the startup sequence:
- df0:x/path df0:x add
-
- And from then on, every time you entered a command, DF0:x would be
- searched before DF0:c. If you wanted df0:c to be searched first, then
- you'd put a path df0:c add after the command above.
-
- This would, of course, also work under WB2.0 and with a hard drive,
- although with 2.0 PATH is built in, so no path is required in front of
- the command in order to load it. So in 2.0, you'd put:
- path df0:x add
-
- since PATH is in ROM.
-
-
- Any other questions?
