PATH

Indicates which directories MS-DOS should search for executable files.      

MS-DOS uses the PATH command to search for executable files in the
directories you specify. By default, the search path is the current
directory only.

Syntax

    PATH [[drive:]path[;...]]

To display the current search path, use the following syntax:

    PATH
or
    For %%_ in (off %path%) do Echo  %%_

To clear all search-path settings other than the default setting (the
current directory), use the following syntax:

    PATH ;

Parameters

[drive:]path
    Specifies a drive, directory, and any subdirectories to search.

;
    When used as the only parameter, clears all search-path settings and
    specifies that MS-DOS is to search only the current directory.
