Adding to a Path in DOS?

[Guest Tmuldoon]

Hello,

 

I have an existing path:

 

c:\>PATH=C:\Program Files\HP\NCU;C:\Program Files\Support Tools\;

 

I want to add

 

F:\bea\jdk141_05\bin>

 

to it.

 

If I just say Path=F:\bea\jdk141_05\bin;

 

it will overwrite all the other path info.

 

How do I get it just to add to the end, and only for this session.

After the reboot, i do not need it again.

 

Thanks,

 

Tmuld.

why not: set path=C:\Program Files\HP\NCU;C:\Program Files\Support

Tools\;F:\bea\jdk141_05\bin;

If you happen to be in the F:\bea\jdk141_05\bin folder then

you can type this with very little effort and one hundred procent

accuracy:

set path=%path%;%cd%
