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or out of date.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 !!

You can use wine cmd to get to a c:> or z:> depending on what directory.
wineconsole is also an option. At that point you and run your
c:\autoexec.bat and set the environment. But for Dos based not needing
window can be run on dosbox or dosemu or some others. If you need
protected mode or the above don't work with your tool set use one of the
virtual machines and install msdos or freedos. I have been using Qemu
for a while but many other are around. Search your distributions package
manager for them.
