	In another message, Peter requested a "real life" example where
these commands are not sufficient.  Here's one that I have encountered
several times.  There is no convenient way to add a directory the end of
your search path.  You have to RESET and ADD everything back.

	On UNIX it's simple:

		$ PATH=$PATH:newdirectory

Maybe we'll never see "PATH directory INSERT", but I'd sure like to have
"PATH directory APPEND".
