Hi

Another Windows question.

Is there a "correct" way to use an external with a standalone on Windows.

The docs say the dll must be on the $PATH environmental variable. 
However, the $PATH variable doesn't inlude the path to the standalone 
exe file. I just added the "directory" to $PATH on startup, something 
like this:

get the directory
replace "/" with "\" in it  -- for Windows
put it & ";" before $PATH

This works, but not having a complete grasp of the environment 
variable concept, I'm not sure if this is the best way to do this, or 
if there might be any unwanted consequences.

Any confirmations, warnings, or otherwise appreciated.

Regards
Dave Cragg
