Yeah, that was what I thought, also, because the Windows Help indicated 
that.  But I tried it -- set the PATH to something very simple (just 
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32) using Edit, clicked OK.   Then restarted the 
computer.  But when I brought up the command-line window and typed PATH 
nothing had changed.  All the MCC18 stuff was still in there, and such 
commands as edit and ping still do not work.  That is why I asked for 
advice -- it has me puzzled that the way Microsoft says to do it 
apparently does not work.  One thing I noticed was that the "apply" 
button was gray (not active), but I am a system administrator on my 
computer and should have all the permissions that I need to change anything.
