U2 Query: file locations

["Patricia M. Godfrey" PriscaMG@xxxxxxxx]

If one is configuring Xy to run off a flash or ZIP drive, using Carl's
Portable configuration, would it be permissible to put the XyUtils that
README.1st specifies should go in "the *first* directory in the DOS Path
(in Win9X, usually C:\WINDOWS; in WinNT, usually C:\WINDOWS\system32 or
C:\WINNT\system32)" in a directory on the flash/zip drive? Could they go
in the dir with editor.exe, or would it be better to give them a dir of
their own? Of course, one would then have to launch Xy with a batch file
that would reset the path to include that dir. (Interestingly, if one
sets the path within a DOS command session--at least in 9x; I wonder how
it works in the NT flavors--, once the session ends, the path apparently
gets reset automatically to what it was before.
