I'm just starting to learn DOS, and I ran into a small problem in a batch file that I'd like to ask about.
In DOS's Autoexec.bat, the PATH command is often used. Here's one PATH search command like this: path=c:.;d:.;..
What is the purpose of the two dots at the end of this command? Because I know a single dot is shorthand for the current directory, and two dots are shorthand for the parent directory. If this command tells DOS to search from the root directories of drives C and D, then which parent directory do the two dots represent?
