A better method would be to create a subdirectory for batch files, then have
your path point to this. You could have each batch file call up the appropriate
program. A path searching many subdirectories will slow things down (such as 
when you call up a program) and it will also use up your environment space.
Each program should have it's own subdirectory, unless it consists only of
an executible (.EXE) file. This helps keep things neat.
