Win2k command line

1. SLOW. There's a perceptible delay between when I type and when characters appear on the screen.
2. No repeat command. If I hold the right arrow, nothing happens.

How can I fix these things? Or is that the way it normally is?

Also, how do I set the path variable?

Sounds like you're running command.com and not cmd.exe (the NT CLI). Go start->run (or windows key + R) and run 'cmd'.

The path is in an environment variable called PATH. You can change it in one single, current session by typing:

SET PATH=%PATH%;c:\your\extra\path

or you can set it globally by going to the control panel -> system -> advanced tab -> environment variables. The bottom section of that tab contains system variables, of which PATH is one. You can edit it there.

K, thanks, that took care of it.
