Step 4: Modifying the PATH Statement

2.5 Step 4: Modifying the PATH Statement
To ensure that your debugger and assembler are invoked from any directory
in your PC, you must modify the PATH statement to identify the dsktools direc-
tory. Not only must you do this before you invoke the debugger for the first time,
you must do it any time you power up or reboot your PC.
You can accomplish this by entering individual DOS commands, but it’s sim-
pler to put the commands in your system’s autoexec.bat file. The general for-
mat for doing this is:
PATH=C:\dsktools;
pathname2 ;pathname3
This allows you to invoke the debugger without specifying the name of the di-
rectory that contains the debugger executable file.
If you are modifying your autoexec.bat file and it already contains the PATH
statement, simply include
;C:\dsktools at the end of the statement as shown
in Figure 2–2.

If you modify the autoexec.bat file, be sure to invoke it before invoking the de-
bugger for the first time. To invoke this file, enter:
