The behavior you describe is _not_ MS-DOS.  MS-DOS doesn't have a
command separator.  Some thoughts:

1. Are you running some command shell?  Look in its manual to find out
change the command separator to something like ^ or & that isn't used in
valid commands.

2. If that's the actual command you typed, it won't work in any event.
Disk letters are not set off with backslashes; they are followed with
colons.  The correct form of the command would be
	SET LIB=C:\LIB;C:\OTHERLIB

3. Are you in fact certain that the SET command was not executed
correctly? Type "SET" as a command by itself to display the current
environment settings.

For future postings, you might want to include the exact error message
you get with a problem.  That would help you get a more focused answer.
