Allows programs to open data files in specified directories as if they were in the current directory.

APPEND [[drive:]path[;...]] [/X[:ON | :OFF]] [/PATH:ON | /PATH:OFF] [/E]

APPEND ;

 [drive:]path Specifies a drive and directory to append.
 /X:ON        Applies appended directories to file searches and
              application execution.
 /X:OFF       Applies appended directories only to requests to open files.
              /X:OFF is the default setting.
 /PATH:ON     Applies appended directories to file requests that already
              specify a path.  /PATH:ON is the default setting.
 /PATH:OFF    Turns off the effect of /PATH:ON.
 /E           Stores a copy of the appended directory list in an environment
              variable named APPEND.  /E may be used only the first time
              you use APPEND after starting your system.

Type APPEND ; to clear the appended directory list.

Type APPEND without parameters to display the appended directory list.
