Actually you don't need autoexec.bat with windows2000.
You DO need autoexec.bat with windowsME, but only for environment variables.
(windowsME will ignore any device drivers, or commands placed inside config.sys
and autoexec.bat, and will only process ????=???? lines such as PATH=,
BLASTER=, etc.)

To set your PATH, or any other environment variable inside windows2000,
just open Start->Settings->Control Panel->System.
Click on the "Advanced" tab, and then click on the "Environment Variables"
button.  Double-click on the "PATH" statement, and add the two paths to the
Euphoria files.  Remember to separate each section with a semicolon ";".

You do not need to reboot.  Any changes made to the "PATH" statement
are permanent (unless you reinstall windows) and take effect immediately.

You may need to have Administrator rights to make changes to the environment
variables, depending on what security settings are in place.
