Thank you Paul.  It worked.

Settings | Control Panel | System | Advanced | Environment Variables | System Variables | Path | Edit
 
Don't delete anything in the edit window but insert (maybe after the "c:\windows\system;") your path for XyWrite.  Or you could do it at the end, but XyWrite tends to prefer it earlier on (if you primarily use XyWrite then the system looks through the other path locations until if finds what it needs; however, on a fast system this should not matter much).  Remember that each of the foldernames must be separated by a semicolon without spaces.  When finished click on "OK" until the System panel closes.

Subject: creating a path in xp

I am stumped as to how to create a path in windows xp for the dos environment.  I went to autoexec.nt which I understood was for the purpose of creating the dos environment.  created a path as I understood how to do it in dos and nothing happened.  After more reading I went to control panel/system/advanced/environmental variables highlighted path when the edit box appeared saw "% surrounding system root% and realized I was seeing terms that had no meaning for me.  would appreciate a reference to where I can get more information on creating and editing a path for xp.
 
thanks
