     NAME
            Path - Set or display the CLI search path for 
        executable files.

     SYNOPSIS
          1.3:
          Path [SHOW] [ADD or RESET] Dir(S) [QUIET]

          2.X/3.X:
          Path [SHOW] [ADD or RESET OR REMOVE] Dir(S)
               [QUIET]

     DESCRIPTION
            The Path command lets you add directories to the 
        places AmigaDOS looks for executable programs.  By 
        default AmigaDOS looks in the current directory, and then 
        in the C: logical device (set by using Assign).  You can 
        add directories to search between these two points by 
        using Path.  Note that you can use wildcards when 
        specifying directories to search to Path.  If a wildcard 
        is specified, the first directory which matches the 
        wildcard pattern will be added. Any number of directories 
        can be added to the path with one command.

            This command may also be used to display the current
        search path.

     OPTIONS
          ADD 
            This option allows you to add directories to the 
        current path. Note that you do not need to use this 
        keyword, if you simply type directories as arguments, 
        this action is implied. The new directory will get 
        searched for after the other user-specified directories, 
        but before the C: directory.

          SHOW
            This displays the current path. The same behavior may 
        be obtained by simply using Path without any arguments.

          RESET
            This will replace the old path with the new path you 
        specify.  If you do not specify any directories to 
        search, the Path defaults to the current directory, and 
        then to C:.  It is not possible currently to remove these 
        two directories from the path. If more than one directory 
        is added, then each directory name is seperated by a 
        space.

          QUIET
            This prohibits displaying requestors for disks which 
        are not mounted when displaying the path with SHOW.  If 
        you use this switch, and the disks are not currently 
        mounted (i.e., in a disk drive) then only the volume name 
        will be displayed.

          REMOVE
            2.x/3.x only: this lets you delete one or more 
        directories from the search path. If more than one 
        directory is named then they must be seperated by spaces.

     EXAMPLES
          
          1) To add drives df1: and df2: to the searchpath:
  
          
          Path ADD df1: df2:
          

          2) To reset the path to search drives one and two:
 
          Path RESET df1: df2:
          

          3) To add the first directory found on DF1: that 
             begins with the letter b.

          Path ADD DF1:b#?
