In response to Peter Evans comment:
OK, to go into it somewhat more. As I understand it, the path statements
take up memory that is stored as "environment" space. Since that accumulates,
the path is better put after commands you may want to call. In other words,
at or close to the end of the autoexec.bat.
This is part of the whole mess that resulted from the IBM-Intel
architecture putting a cap on memory to begin with. (Ms-Intel et al later
invented the escape hatch to "extended memory", by reserving 64k of the
upper memory block for a kind of bypass.)
