i set the environment variables for the djgpp program in the in ENV variable programS WINDOW.

user variable
variable NAME DJGPP
C:\DJGPP\rhid15ab\BIN\rhide.exe

systems variables
variable name %PATH%
C:\DJGPP\rhid15ab\bin\rhide.exe\.env

the C++ programming book says to set it like this
set PATH=C:\DJGPP\BIN;%PATH%
set DJGPP=C:\DJGPP\DJGPP.ENV

I HAD IT SET LIKE THIS (THE BOOK)FIRST BUT I PUT MY 2 SENSES TOGETHER. I ASSUMME,
ONE OF THESE OR BOTH ARE BEING SET TO BE DECTECTED, SO I CHANGED THE SETTINGS TO ABOVE (FIRST EXAMP) WHERE THEIR LOCATION ARE SPEC..

WHICH IS IT? NEITHER WORK

BY THE WAY THE REASON I ASKED SUCH A STUPID QUESTION ABOUT FOLDERS FINDING EACH OTHER (MIGHT NOT BE HERE I ASKED)
BECAUSE, I FINALLY LEARNED HOW TO USE COMMAND PROMPT
THIS WAS MY PROCESS
CMD....... ENTER (START RUN
CD\.......ENTER
CLS.......ENTER
EDIT AUTOEXEC.BAT........ENTER
I ENTERED THE ABOVE LINES LIKE THE BOOK SAID (NOT THE ABOVE ABOVE) FIRST EXAMPLE.
THE ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLE DID NOT CHANGE IN THE ENV. VARAIBLE WINDOW WHY?
ALSO,
CAN YOU HAVE MANY "PATH"VARIABLES LISTED FOR EXAMPLE 2 PATH VARIABLES?
OR DOES IT HAVE TO ENTERED ON THE SAME LINE AS THE OTHERS. ( I NOTICED ABOUT 3 SEPERATE PROGRAMS THERE?

COULD YOU TELL ME IF SHOULD BE GOING BY THE BOOKS EXAMPLE OR WHERE THE FILES ARE LOCATED.
THANK YOU RUBY
