Using the SVCS Menu with vss,what shall I do?

w hl

I do follow GS51.PDF(Page76 to Page78).
When I use SVCS Menu,I got the message as below:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VSS\win32\Ss.exe" History "TRAFFIC.C" -I- -YAdmin
--- Error: can't execute '"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VSS\win32\Ss.exe" History "TRAFFIC.C" -I- -YAdmin'

    [Environment] ssdir=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\vss\ (Do not use "set ssdir=.." like you would from a normal command line. It doesn't appear to work.) It seems work whether or not use "set ssdir=..".I tried both settings and they all work.

    When I open the menu item "SVCS/Configure Version Control..." and set "[Template]C:\Keil\UV3\Microsoft Visual SourceSafe6.SVCS".However,it doesnot set the [Environment] item.I set it "ssdir=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\vss\".In other hand,you must set parameters for every Menu Content.In fact,they are the same set except "Arguments". So I open file Microsoft Visual SourceSafe6.SVCS with a text editor,and modify items Command and Environment.Save it.Try again,it's work.The follow is modified file Microsoft Visual SourceSafe6.SVCS.Note:It's work for my system.You may need modify it base on your system.

    I build a database in my work folder,and I modify .svcs file as follow.However,check out/in file is success,but the file is remain read-only when I check it out.I open VSS Explorer,it signs check out.Note:I find "ssdir=" must be added in this case,check out/in file will fail otherwise.
