I was wonderin which would be better to use Alias or Path.

Here is an example:
I use FreeBasic and/or PowerBasic for my programming projects.

I can either setup the path:
Path=%Path%\Devel\PwrBas35\PB.exe
or set up the alias:
Alias PB=\Devel\PwrBas35\PB.exe

But really, is one better than the other, or prefered over another.  From
my guess, alias may be a better solution, but others may have a different
opinion.

You really need to define "better", because the two things are rather
different.  But there are two mistakes in your example "path" command,
so of your specific examples the alias is the better one because your
"path" command won't work at all.  I'll let you re-read the docs and
maybe experiment a little to find out why. :)
