The path consists of all the directories that must be opened to get to a particular file. (Directories are the physical representations of &link_folders; on disk.)
A fully qualified path consists of the drive name, followed
by a colon (:
), an initial backslash (\
)
to indicate the root directory, plus a list of directories that
must be opened to get to the object, each separated by another
backslash.
If the path points to a file, for example a
data file or
program file,
it is followed by the file name. For example, the &os2; &eexe; resides
in the OS2
directory on the boot drive. Its full path is:
X:\OS2\E.EXEwhere
X:
is the drive letter of your boot drive.
&os2; has several system paths which specify where the system
should look for files if a path is not supplied with a file.
See "System paths" for more explanations.
