for whatever reason you can either put the statment in your config.sys
or ...I 'vt got unto the habit for writing little bat files and they
are in the path in a dir called tooks. the actual bat is nothing more
than the path as if you were to call it up from a dos promt. 
ie c:\xtgold\xtgold   <- stick that in a bat file called X.bat
and wala it loads and its not in the path statment
