Surely you jest, Harry. Do yourself a favor and put the vDos(Plus)
directory in the Windows path! And, yes, if you're coding for anyone
besides yourself, you do need to have the fully-qualified path and
filename. Ergo, you need a way to figure out what the fully-qualified
path is. U2 solution: vDosDir= in XYWWWEB.REG. A better, more
universal, and hands-off solution would be a 4DOS environment variable
that returns the vDosPlus directory.
