And sort of along those lines, any possibility with relatively current
technlogy too many files in one path directory would slow things down?
(Plus half-remember tweaking the Path Statement sequence.) Thinking
orginally the computer only had to look through a list of 50 files to
find the command and now it has to look through 5,000.
Know Ky was talking about temp file and caches, I'm thinking more the
actual command files: everything was dumped into /Program Files.
