excellent! i've done the same thing and, on the os/2 box, went so far as to 
create a utility and utilityp directory where i placed my commonly use tools 
based on the OS they were written for... then the DOS path statement got 
utility added to it and the os/2 path statement got utilityp added to it... 
now, if i have tools of the same name but for each OS flavor, it doesn't matter 
which command shell i open... the name always pulls up the proper tool... the 
real problem is getting the command options right for the individual tool 
flavors...

i remember a time when i had something like FC for DOS and OS/2 but one used /b 
for one option and the other used /b for something else... it always took me a 
minute or so to realize i was trying to get them crossed up :lol:
