set PATH=%PATH%...

I'm building a build system for a java game I'm
writing and it is in it's early stages.  I'm having a
problem
with setting the PATH var...

The code generates a "set PATH=..." sequence to send
to the command prompt.  If I run the generated
sequence from the command line, the path becomes
correctly set.

Does anyone see what I'm doing wrong?

-- OS = windows xp
-- Euphoria Interpreter 2.5 for 32-bit DOS.
-- string_cat() appends sequence 1 with each char from

-- sequence 2, one at a time.

constant JAVAC = "C:\\Program
Files\\Java\\jdk1.5.0_05\\bin"

procedure build_all()
  object return_code
  sequence path, cmd
  path = "%PATH%;"
  path = string_cat(path, JAVAC)
  cmd = string_cat("set PATH=", path)
  puts (1,"\n\n")
  puts (1, "procedure build_all()\n")
  puts(1,cmd)
  return_code = system_exec(cmd, 2)
  if (return_code < 0) then
    puts(1, "\n!!! command failed\n\n")
  end if
  path = getenv("PATH")
  puts (1, "\n\n")
  puts (1, "final path\n")
  puts(1, path)
  --build_client()
  --build_server()
end procedure
