I have a small utility which reads the current PATH, edits it
and outputs to stdout. In conjunction with a batch file it
allows me to insert an element before the current path, append
an element after the current path, insert an element at position
N in the current path, and delete an element from the current
path.
	e.g. C>pathedit -2 C:\sme\bin
	     PATH=C:\BATCH;C:\SME\BIN;C:\DOS;C:\BIN
	puts C:\sme\bin into position 2 in the path
	and eliminates it elsewhere in the path
	(My pathedit.bat always reports the resulting PATH)

	... similarly with options -a -i -d

I can post the batch and C sources if folks are interested.
