PATH [-C] [path1] [path2] [path3] ...
* PATH defines the command search path used by ZShell when searching
for disk based commands (see EXECUTING COMMANDS ) .
If you give the "-c" option , the old search path will be cleared
and the new search path consist only of the given paths.
eg. path -c c: ram:c df0: df1:
This example will make it so that if you type a command which is
not internal in ZShell, the resident list will be searched for it,
then the current directory, then the c: directory, then the ram:c
directory, then df0:, and finally df1:
* By omitting the -c option , you can add a number of paths onto the
existing command search path.
eg. path df2:c
path df1:bin df1:myprogs
* If, however, you type path with no parameters, the current search
path will be displayed.
* When starting ZShell the paths of Workbench (if available) will be
copied.
Note: It is a crazy thing that AmigaDOS shell always has C: as last path.
In my startup-sequence you can find something like:
"path ram: c: sys:utilities sys:system s: sys:prefs"
In AmigaDOS shell the C: directory will then be searched twice if a
command could not be found. Only having C: as last path slows down
access, because most commands are in C:.
That is why you have to specify C: explicite in ZShell where you want it.
