Answer» i have spent a good amount of time reading about variables and their commands okay everything is going great then all the sudden no go nota error comes up and says can't find "start" Your PATH variable must be wrong. What do you see if you type PATH at the prompt? okay i have the image in paint "screenshot" i can't get it to copy i thuoght maybe i could make a copy and paste it here no go could you explain how to get those shots to people in the forum? i wanted to show you when i type in the word path what is in the line wait its the same line in the variable be bk if you hang ten(toes) i was trying to get gnu c++ going and i couldn't because the DGJPP vvariable was wrong the rhide kept telling to shut down this is an exaple of what i did i realize that it is wrong now this is how much i have grown in this process %PATH% C:\DJGPP\rhid15ab\.ENV DJGPP C:\DJGPP\rhid15ab\BIN this is what is there also Path %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\;C:\DGJPP\rhid15ab\bin\rhide.exe hang this is MIRACLE that i even got the path command to work i am so excited i can type commands and they work.."some" thanks rubyYour last entry should read C:\DGJPP\rhid15ab\bin The PATH variable should ONLY contain folder names. the first time i typed the first example start\max\.....dadada the second time i type the longer version start\max\notepad.exe....dadad. neither worked now you said to press start\ then i assume press enter okay it didn't burp on me but it seem to change ...now when you say paremeter or start what exactly are you saying how many paremeters are their so are you saying in order to get this command to work you have to be in the "start paremeter" when i press just start i am in (cmd) system32 window another window pops up "a new window" then i type start\ (with the \ i get my programs folderpops up ready for me to look through the folders okay this is what is happening and has been my problem all along no i thought i did ===================================================== i have my cmd window open and i have my start run "general" open what does not work in one i try the other both know the just the single word notepad nothing else cmd KNOWS start and start\ if i INCLUDE max\ ...........no go nata nota i realized the max\ was to maximize the window unfortunatly this is the amazing thing i can just about tell you what all these commands functions are and i can tell you what the purpose of the folders are for i know you have commands that ASK the computer to preform tasks such as i know fdisk i have used it, that command workd just about anywhere accept the engine of my car. chkdsk i have used it it works at the cmd prompt i know other folders just contain settings or paremeters for programs i have learned way more than i can preform my problem has been like i said all these months i am using the examples to a tee this is another example that if i didn't know just notepad works i would have been here all week making dos disks, booting from a disk, you name it like i spent all day reading external internal commands naturally to me in the med field external is outside the body so i am assuming because the explaination does not take you where they are the system 32 folder and show you them. i assumed they were on a special disk, i made on from the site, i made one from 98 because this disk had no "dos commands" then i find out after two weeks i turn here and i find out xp is not a dos program "THAT WAS A SCREAM" SO ANYWAY YOU GUYS HAVE GOT ME THIS FAR DON'T PITCH IN THE COMPUTER YET. I AM MAKING PROGRESS I HAVE THE COMMANDS WORKING I JUST NEED TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET TO THEM FOR INSTANCE IS I TYPE DIR I GET TO LOOK AT THE DIR BUT I CAN'T GET TO THE FILES IN THE DIR. I CAN GET TO THE WINDOWS FOLDER BUT NOT TO ANY OF THE DIRECTORIES I NEED A PUSH WHY WHY NOT JUST TYPE NOTEPAD AND BOOM WHY ALL THE OTHER STUFF IF WOULDN'T HAVE KNOW THE ALTERNATIVE I WOULD BE A MESS RIGHT NOW RUBY Your English is not good enough for us to help you. I AM SORRY ABOUT THE ENGLISH. I AM USED TO WRITING REPORTS(MEDICAL). I AM NOT USED TO ASKING FOR ADVICE IN NOR AM I EQUIPED WITH THE LINGO OF THE COMPUTER WORLD. I WANT TO LEAVE MEDICAL AND START PROGRAMMING. I HAVE MADE A MESS HERE BECAUSE I THINK I AM A GENIUS.?) I COULD ASK FOR HELP IN MEDICAL ABRIEVIATIONS. IT'S HARD FOR ME SPELL. THE MEDICAL PROFESSION WAS TEXT MESSEGING ON PAPER WAY BEFORE COMPUTERS. I WILL GET IN THE GROOVE. I ASSUME YOU CAN UNDERSTAND BECAUSE YOU ARE IN THE COMPUTER WORLD. I HAVE BEEN GETTING AHEAD OF MYSELF AND TEND TO RUN ON. PEOPLE USUALLY DON'T GET BACK TO YOU. I WILL BE MORE BRIEF. AND ASK ONE QUESTION AT A TIME YOU GUYS ARE GOOD ABOUT GETTING BACK TO THOSE WHO ARE LOST. I WAS MERELY, MAKING A POINT ABOVE, FOR THE REASON I COULD NEVER USE MY COMPUTER PROMPT OR THE COMMANDS. I WAS ASKING WHY ALL THE COMMANDS WHEN NOTEPAD WOULD HAVE BEEN SUFFIENT. THANKS FOR TRYING RUBY |
