Running python from a usb drive

[cjl]

Hey all:

I'm getting closer. My startpython.bat file is now:

path=%PATH%;%CD%Python24;%CD%Python24\libs;%CD%Python24\Scripts;%CD%Python24\Lib\site-packages;%CD%Python24\DLLs
set PYTHONPATH=%CD%Python24
ASSOC .py=Python.File
ASSOC .pyc=Python.CompiledFile
ASSOC .pyo=Python.CompiledFile
ASSOC .pyw=Python.NoConFile
FTYPE Python.File=%CD%Python24\python.exe "%1" %*
FTYPE Python.CompiledFile=%CD%Python24\python.exe "%1" %*
FTYPE Python.NoConFile=%CD%Python24\pythonw.exe "%1" %*
set PATHTEXT=%PATHTEXT%;.py;.pyc;.pyo;.pyw
cmd

I am having a problem with the ftype commands as written above. If I
type them from the command line exactly like above they work. But for
some reason they do not work from my batch file. Anyone familiar with
bath file syntax that can help me? I am very close here...

Thanks again,
CJL
