Wow. This is REALLY weird. I know this is DJGPP, but since it involves
changing the environment settings, I think you can help.

I just messed up my autoexec.bat file because I took out those %PATH%
things. It then said it couldn't load windows!! What do they do, the %PATH%
things? Anyway, this is what gets me: In my SET PATH=... stuff,
I have the path for DJGPP, my printer, and a DJGPP toolkit thing. What I
DON"T have is WINDOWS in my set path!! It still runs fine though. I've
noticed that everybody has windows in there SET PATH but me! I don't even
think that the default SET PATH had windows in there. What I DO have is
this:

PATH=C:\IBM......      since, of course, I have a IBM computer (Aptiva). Is
that the same as a
SET PATH=C:\windows...   ?

Since I don't have it, SHOULD I set windows somewhere in my SET PATH? It
still works fine without it.

Also (I know I should have this in a DOS only newsgroup, but DJGPP involves
DOS, plus I like this group)
when I bought my computer, in my config.sys, the BUFFER was set like so:
BUFFER=20 or something
a long that line (it WAS set at 20). NOW it is set at 50. Note that I DO
have lock ups after I open and close about three large progs at a time (or
close my internet connection quickly) . Somebody told me that because it was
at 50, that is what made it lock up. Is that true? ( I have 32 megabytes of
RAM, in care you're wondering)

Thanks for listening to my ramblings,
Anakin
