Strange option in Borland make

Hi all,

I'm using Borland make, and I've organized my disks as follows :
E:\ ASM and LNK source files
G:\ OBJ and EXE files

In my makefile, I've added
.PATH.ASM=E:
.PATH.OBJ=G:
.PATH.EXE=G:

.ASM.OBJ:
		  TASM ($OPTIONS) $*.ASM,$*.OBJ

TOTO.OBJ:
        TOTO.ASM

And the result is surprising... Make controls correctly the date of the
.OBJ
on the G: disk and the disk of the .ASM on the E: disk, and calls TASM
only when it is necessary... BUT, TASM is called with :
TASM <options> E:TOTO.ASM,E:TOTO.OBJ  
                          ??
How can I tell it that PATH for OBJ is on G: ? With such a behavior, it
cannot
generate my exe file because the OBJ are not found when link is called,
and i'd like to have ASM and OBJ on different disks because it is
clearer...
Any help will be greatly appreciated !
