SETPATH - create DOS PATH from file


            Syntax

            SETPATH [D:\PATH\]FILENAME.EXT

            Parameters

            FILENAME.EXT is the name of the path file;  a standard ASCII
            file which contains the names of ALL the directories in the
            DOS PATH.  The format of the file is simple: one path entry
            per line, exactly as they would appear in the SET PATH=
            command:

            C:\
            C:\MSDOS
            D:\UTILS
            .
            etc....

            Comments

            SETPATH will create the DOS PATH from the entries in
            FILENAME.EXT.  As with ADDPATH/REMPATH, SETPATH will
            validate each entry, but with a twist: if an invalid entry
            is found in the path file, SETPATH will beep three times,
            display an appropriate error message with the invalid entry
            and its location in the file, and will wait five seconds
            before continuing.  If you use SETPATH as a replacement for
            the DOS PATH command in AUTOEXEC.BAT, this feature is very
            useful, since PATH will still be built, but you will be
            notified of the error.  If you missed the error display, re-
            run SETPATH from the command line.  SETPATH can be used as
            often as desired;  it will create a complete new DOS PATH
            each time it is run.

            Note that the current "." and parent ".." directory entries
            are allowed in the SETPATH file.  Although DOS automatically
            searches the current directory before searching the path,
            this feature allows you to list matching files in the
            current and/or parent directory when using the SRCHPATH
            program.
