It is used much like path, but it intercepts file requests first, and searches its path set to look for the requested file (and if unsuccessful, then lets the DOS PATH look for the file). It works even for data files, overlays, documents; literaly any file. BEWARE: the file it gets may not be the one you really want. If, for example you want to edit a file, if more than one file exists with the same name, you may end up editing the wrong one (and I understand it can get confused in saving it properly).
