That's almost right -- but it's used for other things also, litke networks
of other kinds. But thats OS/2 -- not DOS and so anyway,
Marv seems to have a strange setup there -- since the line from his autoexec
path statement said "e:\tcpip\dos\bin" it looks like something other than the
TCP/IP that comes with OS/2. There should not be a path statement in autoexec
for anything except DOS (or windoz) apps -- except for the \os2\mdos stuff that
tells things where to find the dos commands.
