Each element should be a full path (drive letter and sub directories) for clarity, and they should each be separated by a ''';'''. Linux and Apple users should be aware that the current working directory is always checked first (unlike your host system, which requires a '''./''' to be inside your path).  By default the '''[[ZDrive|Z:\]]''' is at the beginning of the PATH making the default DOSBox [[Utilities|utilities]] available to you no matter what sub directory you are currently in.  Very few software tools would require a change in your PATH, usually only system wide command line utilities like text editors.
