Let's see if we can break this down a little.

Q: "Hello I checked the autoexec.bat file but I found nothing in that file why I dont know"

A: It is not neccessary to have anything in the autoexec.bat file.

Q: "I tried to add a path to a directory to include c programing in that file and then save it"

A: Please provide the complete path that you are wanting to add and save to the autoexec.bat file.

Q: "tried to get to the file .bat it came with a message bad file name I wonder why"

A: I would suggest providing the path info will answer this question too.

Q: "is there is way to include the c directory"

A: Yes.

It would help us help you better if only any of us could just understand WHAT you want to do !
Please be more precise and tell us what you are trying to implement with the autoexec.bat...

Try
SET PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND

SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\BORLANDC\BIN

If that is what you are looking for.

You probably want:

PATH=%PATH%;C:\BORLAND;C:\BIN;

instead of:

PATH=%PATH%;C:\BORLANDC\BIN;

Or just make one path statement:

PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;C:\BORLAND;C:\BIN

This assumes you have a c:\borland and a c:\bin directory.

It also assumes that you want to run something in DOS, because Windows doesn't need any of this.

I tend to agree with Kailas, nobody quite knows what you are trying to achieve, so it's difficult to supply constructive answers.
