I'm under Windows XP, and I'm having a devil of a time trying to set
'path' to a bunch of directories in my home directory. My $HOME (and
thus presumably "~") point at c:\Documents and Settings\User\My
Documents\Home. Doing something like
set path=$HOME/src
does not work (e.g., ":find" does not find files that are there).
I've tried many variations, even expanding out $HOME in various forms,
and the single variation I have gotten to work was
let &path='c:\Documents\ and\ Settings\User\My\ Documents\Home\src\'
IIRC, using forward slashes breaks this, using ":set path" instead of
":let &path" breaks this, using ~ or $HOME breaks this, etc. Also,
with this form I can't seem to be able to later do "let
&path+='c:\....'. (I get E734) Is there an easier way to set 'path'
in Windows?? I'd like to add something like 5 to 10 directories to
path, and this form is soooo unwieldly and ugly...
