PATH (Environment Variable)
Description
The PATH MSX-DOS 2 Environment Variable specifies the current search path used by COMMAND2.COM to find a .BAT or .COM file.
It can be useful to change this environment variable for example before launching one of the tools located in the UTIL sub-directory on the MSX-DOS 2 disk.
Notes:
- The path can also be manipulated with the PATH command to specify more than one search path.
- The root directory is mentioned by ';' when you use SET PATH without other parameters, but you can't use SET PATH=; because it will remove PATH from the environment variable list.
- Character backslash (\) is used in MSX-DOS 2 / Nextor. It is replaced by the character yen (¥) on Japanese MSX or the character won (₩) on Korean MSX.
Example
A>SET PATH=A:\UTIL A>XDIR
