Here is an example of a command that you might enter:

set PATH=c:\tool_dir;%PATH%

To change your path statement to use the tools, enter the command text as shown in bold and replace tool_dir with the name of your tools direc- tory.

-In syntax descriptions, the instruction, command, or directive is in a bold typeface font and parameters are in an italic typeface. Portions of a syntax that are in bold should be entered as shown; portions of a syntax that are in italics describe the type of information that should be entered.

Here is an example of a command that you might use: mkdir tool_dir

In this example, you would type mkdir, as shown, and replace tool_dir with the name of your directory.

-Square brackets ( [ and ] ) identify an optional parameter. If you use an op- tional parameter, you specify the information within the brackets; you don't enter the brackets themselves. Here's an example of a command that has optional parameters:

SET C_DIR=pathname1 [;pathname2 . . .]

Setting the C_DIR environment variable allows you to specify one or more pathnames for the C compiler to search.
