Problems with SMARTDRIVE and PATH

Hello there,

	I have the following questions:
1. TO simulate disk cache with dos and windows you can either put the
statements
a) devicehigh=c:\smartdrv.sys     in the config.sys file or
b) loadhigh=c:\smartdrv.exe       in the autoexec.bat file

What is the difference between the 2 statements?
Also, how much cache would be recommended to have with a total of 4MB ram when
you run windows?

2. I have aproblem with the path statement of dos.
If I type the following statement in the dos prompt
PATH = C:\DOS; C:\WINDOWS; C:\STACKER;
in capital letters it works but if I put it in a batch file such as the
autoexec.bat file it tells me "Too many parameters". Does anybody have any
ideas as to what the problem might be?

	I would very much appreciate any relevant response.
