&PATH 

Syntax 

&PATH {pathlist}

where:

pathlist              unquoted string

Description 

&PATH provides a method for the specification of program search paths for
the HP Desk EXECUTE and :RUN commands.  The pathlist parameter must
specify one or more paths of the form GROUP.ACCOUNT[\{S|P|G}].

\S      is equivalent to LIB=S in a :RUN command
\G      is equivalent to LIB=G in a :RUN command
\P      is equivalent to LIB=P in a :RUN command

HP Desk will first search the user's logon group to find the named
program, if the group and account of a specified file are not given, and
the file does not exist in your own group and account, &PATH defines the
groups and accounts which should be searched for that file.  The default
search path is PUB.SYS, UTIL.SYS, HPMAIL.SYS\G. The order in which the
paths are specified is the order in which the search will take place.

Example 

     &PATH tools.sys\g pub.sys util.sys
     EXEC Myprog

HP Desk will search for Myprog in your own group.  If it is not there,
then it will search the groups named, and run Myprog if it is found
there.
