I have a Compaq laptop with Win95. How do I set the path??
And how do I set environment variables.

It's not in autoexec.bat.

Thanks,
Seb

You don't need one with Win95.  You can add one in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file
if you need it for DOS.  The Win95 rough equivalent of the PATH statement
is contained in the MSDOS.SYS file, which is a HIDDEN file in the root and
\WINDOWS directory.

If you need to make the path available for an application just create a
autoexec.bat if not already on your drive. Any command in this autoexec.bat
will override the widnows95 default setting. That goes the same for the
environment, set it the same way it was with your old dos.
