    NT clones have autoexec.nt in \system32  directory. Your path is from
there I think.
Environment usage in NT is very mysterious.
There are 2 command interpretators - cmd.exe and command.com - you never
know
what is used and when. Environment size settings are unpredictable and you
path can be truncated silently. Setting it in windows or autoexec.nt have
just temporary
effect.

Tõnu.
