Help - opentools macros not working

I just insalled Delphi 7 on a new XP machine, and as I always do, set
up an "Explore project" entry on the tools menu, Title "Explore
Project", Program "c:\windows\explorer.exe", working dir "",
Parameters "/n,/e,SPATH($EDNAME).
When I try to use it however, I get an error - "The path $PATH does
not exist or is not a directory." For some reason the macros don't
seem to be expanded, they're just being passed as literals, does
anyone have any suggestions what might be wrong?

Did you use $PATH or SPATH in parameters? I am assuming what you posted
is a typo, but if not that would be your problem.
If that is not the problem, the IDE.General newsgroup might get you
better answers.

this works for me
/n,/e, $PATH($EDNAME)
note the blank space and the semi colan
