Did you also use the "/p" switch so a child process can inherit the
size.  DOS truncates commands at 127 chars, so a long path must be
built up a piece at a time.  There are several programs that will
do this.  I use "appenv' as in:

PATH=c:\bin;c:\usr\bin;\c:\local\bin
appenv;c:\wordstar;c:\grammatik
appenv=;c:\windows;c:\windows\apps

Ain't no place like ${HOME}; not even C:\.
