Its the "path" to executable files (and such - goes for batch files
etc. as well). If you have added a directory-path to the system's
"PATH" environment variable, that directory will be searched for
commands if you enter them without specifying a directory.

I see you're using WinXP - right click on My Computer, Properties,
select the Advanced Tab, on the bottom is a button that leads you to
the Environment variables. When you locate the "PATH" variable, you
can add additional entries to it - separate multiple entries with a
semicolon (;).

[for example, I have my mp3 encoder (lame.exe) in "D:\SFX\MP3\lame" -
I have added that path to the "PATH" environment variable, this allows
me to use lame.exe from a command prompt without adding the path to
the executable file, so instead of having to type d:\sfx\mp3\lame\lame
I can simply type "lame" ...]
