APPEND

Allows programs to open data files in specified directories as if they were in
the current directory.

APPEND [[drive:]path[;...]] [/X[:ON | :OFF]] [/PATH:ON | /PATH:OFF] [/E]
APPEND ;

[drive:]path Specifies a drive and directory to append.
/X:ON Applies appended directories to file searches and
application execution.
/X:OFF Applies appended directories only to requests to open files.
/X:OFF is the default setting.
/PATH:ON Applies appended directories to file requests that already
specify a path. /PATH:ON is the default setting.
/PATH:OFF Turns off the effect of /PATH:ON.
/E Stores a copy of the appended directory list in an environment
variable named APPEND. /E may be used only the first time
you use APPEND after starting your system.

Type APPEND ; to clear the appended directory list.
Type APPEND without parameters to display the appended directory list.

Example: append c:\memos;c:\letters
