Someone.Told.Me.I.Can.Set.My.Environmental.Variable.Batch.File.Like.The.Following.Format!


@echo off
set Masm32Dir=C:\Masm32
set include=%Masm32Dir%\Include;%include%
set lib=%Masm32Dir%\lib;%lib%
set path=%Masm32Dir%\Bin;%Masm32Dir%;%PATH%
set Masm32Dir=
echo on

But.I.Am.Not.Quite.Sure.That.What.Do.The"%include%","%lib%"And"%

PATH%".Mean,Which.At.The.End.Of.Every.Set.Definiation?

Does.It(%xxx%).Have.A.Special.Meaning.Or.I.Can.Ignor.Them.At.All?

:confused: :eek: :(

I think I know what you are looking for

1. the "set" command creates a word (variable) to equal what it is set to

example:
set mymasm=\masm32

Now, mymasm is created and it has the text string "\masm32", but to use it you need to put mymasm between two %'s like: %mymasm%

so after that set command:
cd %mymasm%

is just like saying:

cd \masm32

I don't know why he has all that repetition in the code he gave you, but that is what happens to those words that are in the %signs%. ;)

I hope that helps
