If you want the Win32 command for looking at the environment variables:
help set (typing just "set" does what "env" does
help setlocal
will give some info.
The Windows command to see the path is "path".

The Win32 command to append the path is: path = %PATH%;newdir

I don't know why this module isn't working for you, but this "path=" command will work.

I hope that it is clear that when you change the environment PATH variable like this, this only applies only as long as your program or shell that did this is running. The need for something like this is seldom. I am curious as to your application?
