WShell looks at both the AmigaDOS path and env:path.  The search order is
1) previous command (if pure), 2) resident commands, 3) built-in commands,
4) rexx macros, 5) implicit directory, 6) current directory, 7) local
(i.e., AmigaDOS) path directories, 8) global (i.e., env:path) directories.
(Reference:  pre-release v1.0 wshell manual, chapther 4, page 21).
