Thanks to those who answer my last post via private mail.

All I needed to do is add the path when typing on the command line..  e.g.
/a.out.

Now for my next question, what use or how can I set a certain dir like the
path statment in dos, so that all I do is type the exicutable file name on
the command line.

Thanks
