I want to use the old ms-dos editor with dosbox
I've added the edit.exe to c:\ drive and successfully use the command 'edit' though, when I change to a different drive , i.e. drive p:\, I can't use the 'edit' command.
How can I get edit.exe to work in all mounted drives without copying the edit.exe file to all drives?
use
set path=c:\;z:\
like you would normally in DOS.

I've tried using it
But sadly I don't get how it works
I'm trying to get the edit command that's on c:\edit.exe to work while i'm on any other drive as well, i.e. drive p:/
without copying edit.exe to drive p:\
that is what path does
You have to keep C:\ mounted

After googling it a bit
I understand how it works
but when I use set path=c:\;z:\ I still can't get the edit command to work, only in drive c:\ it works
Ok found out what my problem was
I had the edit.exe in root C:\
after moving it to a separate folder C:\msedit\edit.exe and having that folder in PATH, it started to work
Thank you for the command
That is odd, but glad you found a solution.
