Well, for Procomm, there is an environment variable which tells
procomm.exe where to look for its initialization files. Mine is
set procomm=c:\com\procomm since that is the directory where the
initialization/config files are. If your application doesn't
support environment variables (pc-write, forinstance) then
make a bat file and store it in \bat.
