I have had the experience of finding that WATTCP.CFG in some DOS internet
apps require that the location of PATH.CFG be specified as a relative
pathname instead of as an absolue pathname. This means that
"include=C:\ARACHNE\PATH.CFG" would not work in WATTCP.CFG in some apps
such as Bobcat or Lynx386. You might get an error message saying
"unable to locate path.cfg", even though the file does exist in the path
where you have specified it as an absolute path name.

Your batch file will work fine as long as your WATTCP.CFG file is the
same for all of your apps. Some of my applications have different
requirements for entries in WATTCP.CFG, but all of them must include
PATH.CFG.
