=====================================================
If you are responding to someone asking for help who
may not be a member of this list, be sure to use the
REPLY TO ALL feature of your email program.
=====================================================

Oh, and if you have to shorten your LIBPATH, SET PATH, SET DPATH or SET
HELP statements, I can help you there. I have a couple of REXX scripts
that create 4 new directories on C:\ (I presume that's your boot drive)
and then copy all the files in the directories that are pointed to in
these statements to those 4 directories. Then, you can temporarily
modify your CONFIG.SYS with (shorter) LIBPATH, SET PATH, SET DPATH or
SET HELP statements that point to the 4 new directories. You can boot on
that temporary CONFIG.SYS. The issue here (if you have the > 256
character problem) is that it's often hard to edit these lines to
shorter lengths by deleting some directories. If you try, you may find
that your system hangs during boot, because of some directory that you
thought was not important, or because of some program that's loading
behind the scene

Well, anyway, if you need help with the LIBPATH, SET PATH, SET DPATH or
SET HELP statements, just ask
HCM
