SUMMARY
The PrependToPath subroutine from the Setup toolkit is incorrectly documented in the Setup toolkit's README.WRI file. The arguments to the subroutine should not be enclosed in parentheses. PrependToPath is a subroutine and, unlike functions, the arguments to subroutines are never put in parentheses.

The syntax of the PrependToPath call is:

  PrependToPath szSrc$, szDest$, szDir$, cmo% An example of a call to PrependToPath is:

  PrependToPath &quot;c:\autoexec.bat&quot;,&quot;c:\autoexec.new&quot;,&quot;c:\tmp&quot;,cmoVital szSrc$ is the full path of the original file. szDest$ is the name of new file created, which has the contents of the szSrc$ file with szDir$ added to the PATH statements. szSrc$ and szDest$ should not be the same. You can use the Setup function RenameFile to rename the original AUTOEXEC.BAT to a backup filename, and then again to rename the new file (AUTOEXEC.NEW in the code above) to AUTOEXEC.BAT.
