I was wonderin which would be better to use Alias or Path. Here is an example: I use FreeBasic and/or PowerBasic for my programming projects. I can either setup the path: Path=%Path%\Devel\PwrBas35\PB.exe or set up the alias: Alias PB=\Devel\PwrBas35\PB.exe But really, is one better than the other, or prefered over another. From my guess, alias may be a better solution, but others may have a different opinion.
You really need to define "better", because the two things are rather different. But there are two mistakes in your example "path" command, so of your specific examples the alias is the better one because your "path" command won't work at all. I'll let you re-read the docs and maybe experiment a little to find out why. :) -- 73, Ged. _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
