[boka]

where can i put some programs so i can call them from any directory. for
example i need to call one compiler and i don't wanna copy it every time i
need to use it... i know i can copy it to .../win/comamnd, but is there any
other way?

You can place programs anywhere defined within the environmental PATH,
or amend the environmental PATH to include another directory. From the
command prompt, type ECHO %PATH% to see the current directories. You
can amend the PATH by opening the System Properties control panel
applet, switching to the Advanced tab, and pressing the Environmental
Variables button.
