To Kendall Gifford,

someone answered me in another forum:
The PATH environment variable gives you access to executable files only. 
Other file types, such as text files are not treated that way.
To do that you would use the APPEND command which sadly is obsolete now. 
You may work around it by creating a CMD file such as a textfile.cmd 
containing the commands:

@echo off
notepad H:\Ruby\Practice\textfile.txt

The bad news is you would have to create a CMD file for each text file 
you want to open this way.

Cheers!
