  Well, when you have the final array of values...

LIM=${A[*]}
n=1
PATH=${A[0]}
while [ $n -lt $LIM ]; do
  PATH=$PATH:${A[$n]}
  let n=n+1
done


- or -

PATH=$(echo ${A[*]} | tr " " ":")

which is a lot simpler, but probably slower because it runs a process
instead of all being in ksh.

Let me know if one of these helps.
