Edit the above value to be like this:

	C:\DJGPP\BIN;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND

The value of PATH is indeed a string.  It is a list of directories separated
by semicolons.  Windows searches each of those directories for programs when
you invoke a program without naming it with its full path name.

To set the DJGPP variable, you need to create a new variable.  There should
be some button like Add to do that.  Name the variable DJGPP and give it the
value C:\DJGPP\DJGPP.ENV.  Then reboot the machine.
