Re: How do you modify PATH on Windows XEmacs 21.4.3
Unfortunately, setenv only affects subprocesses, not the XEmacs process
itself. And since XEmacs is the process loading my DLL, Windows looks at
its PATH, not PATHs for subprocesses.

Try M-x setenv and M-x getenv.
In lisp it might be something like:
(setenv "PATH" (concat (getenv "PATH") "xxx;"))
If it's in your init file it should be inherited by all buffers, and to
any sub-processes.
