COMMAND: DPATH (Data Path) DOCUMENTATION : On-line
FUNCTION: Provides an extended directory path search capability for finding
data and overlay files.
FORMAT: DPATH [[d:]path[[;[d:]path]...]]
TYPE: Public domain software
REMARKS: DPATH utilizes the same syntax as PATH to extend the search path
for non-executable files. The first time DPATH is executed, it
becomes resident, and thereafter, data and overlay files not found
in the current directory are searched for in the directories
specified in the last DPATH command. Files opened for writing
will be opened in the current directory. To set a new search path,
enter DPATH with a new list of paths. These new paths replace any
previously defined. DPATH with no arguements displays a list
of the search paths currently in effect. DPATH will not work
with some programs that run only under DOS 2.0
