I am not very experienced with the MSDOS command line and even less so with wine. I am working on a realtime embedded C project and must, for the time being, use DOS command line tools. Since my work environment for decades has been Unix and Unix-like, I am trying to get the tool set to run under Wine on Hardy. I have solved several problems, but now I need to reset the path. I have a .bat file which should do this and I have tried typing path=; directly into an instance of a wine command interpreter with no result. I have looked at the FAQ and googled a good bit. I found a document where someone said I can't do this and must change the PATH in the through the registry. That reference was several years old so I'm hoping it was either wrong or out of date. I can't believe the command line has been so lobotomized !! Ray
