You must be running the original 1.0 version. In that version we put the 
program directory in the PATH= statement only in the config.sys on 
program installation. For associations to work the program directory has 
to be put in the LIBPATH and the HELP path as well (that is all you have 
to do). All current versions of ColorWorks put the program directory in 
all three spots.

Thanks

BTW - Why are you still running 1.0, we upgraded all registered users to 
V1+ for free? V1+ is significantly stronger than 1.0, and like I said the 
install put the path in all 3 spots in the config.sys so associations and 
startup directory settings in the program object work.

Regards,

Joel @ SPG
