it' s a simple environment variable to be defined via 'set' command ...
TK im W:\>echo %PATH%
Z:.;Y:.;X:.;W:.;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;D:\C\BIN;C:\PERL\BIN;D:\BATCH;
C:\N
OVELL\CLIENT32;C:\PROGRA~1\NETWOR~1\MCAFEE~1
TK im W:\>set PATH=c:\temp;%PATH%
(or mention %PATH% at first, depends on the desired search sequence)
TK im W:\>echo %PATH%
C:\TEMP;Z:.;Y:.;X:.;W:.;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;D:\C\BIN;C:\PERL\BIN;D
:\BA
TCH;C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32;C:\PROGRA~1\NETWOR~1\MCAFEE~1
but i guess it makes more sense to add this to autoexec.bat

it shouldn't, but AFAIK the length is limited to 255 chars, so in case you
have already a considerable ammount of directories, you might loose the last
entry/entries when adding an additional searchpath!
