Hello,

I have an existing path:

c:\>PATH=C:\Program Files\HP\NCU;C:\Program Files\Support Tools\;

I want to add

F:\bea\jdk141_05\bin>

to it.

If I just say Path=F:\bea\jdk141_05\bin;

it will overwrite all the other path info.

How do I get it just to add to the end, and only for this session.
After the reboot, i do not need it again.

Thanks,

Tmuld.

why not: set path=C:\Program Files\HP\NCU;C:\Program Files\Support
Tools\;F:\bea\jdk141_05\bin;

If you happen to be in the F:\bea\jdk141_05\bin folder then
you can type this with very little effort and one hundred procent
accuracy:
set path=%path%;%cd%
