Problem

Solutions: Customers often have trouble running Tutor. The most common error message is "WP.EXE Not Found In Path." This often happens even though WP.EXE may actually be in the path. The cause can be simply where C:\WP51 is placed in the path, or a trailing backslash, or several other things. Rearranging a customer's path can be time consuming and frustrating. The following batch file solves this problem in a minimum amount of time:

COPY CON C:\TUTOR.BAT

ECHO OFF
SET OLDPATH=%PATH%
SET PATH=C:\WP51
C:
CD\WP51\LEARN
TUTOR
SET PATH=%OLDPATH%
CD
This batch file saves the users current path to a variable called oldpath, changes the path to only have WP51 in it, and then restores the original path when the user exits tutor.
