$Path
 Usage
• $Path gives the default list of directories to search in attempting to find an external file.
Notes
• The structure of directory and file names may differ from one computer system to another. • $Path is used both for files in Get and for external programs in Install. • The setting for $Path can be overridden in specific functions using the Path option. • The directory names are specified by strings. The full file names tested are of the form ToFileName[directory,name]. • On most computer systems, the following special characters can be used in directory names:
| . | the current directory | | .. | the directory one level up in the hierarchy | | ~ | the user's home directory |
• $Path can contain nested sublists. • New in Version 1.
