However, there still is a problem. 1. The "root" is a:. 2. There is an a:\fdconfig.sys. 3. Inside the fdconfig.sys file, the SHELL command points to: a:\freedos\fdauto.bat 4. So I edited a:\freedos\fdauto.bat to include the directories I want in the path. At this point I thought that everything was as I wanted. but then I discovered that when I reboot, the a:\freedos\fdauto.bat goes back to its initial state (i.e., it lost the changes I had made prior to the reboot). I checked this again, and indeed the a:\freedos\fdauto.bat file always reverts to its unedited state on reboot. So the file I'm supposed to edit seems like it can't be a:\freedos\fdauto.bat; but I'm back to my original situation now, still wondering which is the right file I should edit so that the PATH is as I want it. Maybe I misunderstood something in your instructions, but I don't think so. Doc PS As you point out, I can always change the PATH manually, but that is error prone and something I'm likely to forget to do at some point. It would be much more convenient to have the PATH set as I want it as part of the boot sequence. -- Web: http://www.sff.net/people/N7DR
