Alhamdulillah! Do not add anything to anything. For the third time: Do NOT
change or alter the COMSPEC!!! Just make sure that the directory in which you
locate this file also contains COMMAND.COM. (Note that there may be several
copies of COMMAND.COM on your machine, in several different directories; you
want a copy, or _the_ copy, that is in the PATH! Which is the same as the
environmental setting %WINDIR%. Which, on 99% of 9x machines, is the
C:\WINDOWS directory. Type "echo %windir%" at a DOS prompt to see what
%WINDIR% is. Or type "echo %path%" to see your complete PATH...)
