        May not help, but try putting " around those paths... or convert from 
long-file-name to the 8.3 MS-DOS variant (if you can find it).

        set dislin= "c:\program files\dislin"
or
        set dislin= c:\progr~01\dislin

        It took me forever once to figure out why my W98 path wasn't working 
(I've got tons of "set path=xyz;%path%;abc" structures; they were 
breaking on embedded spaces).
