The difference here is in the HTML that is produced.  With the original
code as you have below, the links are specified similar to:

<span><b>&#183;</b><a href="c:\aasas\myoutput9.htm#IDX"
target="body">Data Set SASUSER.ADMIT</a>

Whereas following the SAS Note and using the PATH= URL none produces
the same link as:
<span><b>&#183;</b><a href="myoutput9.htm#IDX" target="body">Data Set
SASUSER.ADMIT</a>

IE tends to be VERY forgiving when it comes to 'errors' like this - no
protocol is specified before the absolute file path.
Firefox/Mozilla/Netscape  are not so generous.
