Solved Whence "whence"?

I have Vista Home Premium 32-bit.

Hundreds of years ago, UNIX had a command (and maybe still does) that allowed you to check which version of a command was being invoked on the command line.

For example, assume you have several Java versions on your machine. The command:

whence java

would give you the complete path for the specific "java.exe" that would be used if you typed, for example:

java HelloWorld

Does anyone know whether DOS has a similar command?

Dunno if this will help: Oracle on Windows. Mainly.: DOS equivalent of unix 'whence' or 'type'

That works great! Thanks
