Where? In the sense that the excised example would end up as something like "C:\xyz\dir1:C:\xyz\dir2".

Actually, I was trying to point out the ambiguity of saying just "path." People use "path" for the pathname to a file and for search paths (like the Java class search path, executable search paths defined by environment variable PATH in Unix and DOS, Ant <path...> constructs, etc.). Occasionally using the full forms ("search path", "pathname") might help clarify things to readers.
