I would assume they mean by the term shortcut the use of %PATH% tacked onto the end of the second environment string. Rather than spell out your whole current path, it gets prepended with C:\DJGPP\BIN; text. That's kind of a shortcut in typing out relentless path statements, right? That is standard DOS proceedure as well. I dunno about calling it a shortcut so close to Windows though, does make one wonder if maybe if they tried a bit harder they could make it make more sense than it does.

I would put both of those lines at the begining of the C:\autoexec.bat file.
