Are you doing this in autoexec.bat, a setup.bat type file on the
command line
?
What is 'set; before and after trying?
What is the output from the set path....?

The only suggestion is to check and increase the environment space for
the command.com as this could cause this sort of problem. It may
allready seem to be a very large value in which case select the next
size. I have not used Win ME in a long time, but did have this type of
problem with the environment space on a few W98 PC's.
