Why SET? You don't have to use SET with Caldera 7.02 DR-DOS, or with
MS-DOS 5.00. What is the point in using a combined statement when just
one statement ought to work? "path=c:\;c:\util" is a single statement and
it works with a normal DOS version.

I've never used MS-DOS 6.22. You have just now given me another good reason
not to ever try it. I've never heard anything good about MS-DOS 6.22.
