Hi,
	I have a simuliar problem that might be releated to the previous
question. The problem seems to be that When I install new programs on my 
computer they automaticly add their paths to my path statement in the 
Autoexec.BAT. Now after adding so many programs and paths to my path 
statement, the path statement gets cutoff at a certain location 8-(.
	I think that I have tried a /e or something simulair in my Shell
statement to increase the size of ENV. table. But this seems to not
correct the problem. Is there a way to correct this other than deleteing
some of the old paths?

Thanks!
John
