I think that the environmental variables are not set up properly in your system.

It is working as advertised in my system even though I never use the
doc command. It is easier to double click the txt file to bring up your
favorite editor like Notepad or Ultraedit.

%EMBEDINC% = c:\embedinc
%PATH% should contain C:\embedinc\com

There are some environmental variables not automatically set up
by the installation program. Please check out
C:\embedinc\doc\envvars.txt
