^THE SAME SEARCH LIST SWITCH MAY APPEAR MORE THAN ONCE IN A COMMAND
BUT THE EFFECT IS THE SAME AS IF THE USER HAD SPECIFIED ALL THE
STRUCTURES IN ONE SWITCH.  <ADD, <REMOVE, AND <MODIFY SWITCHES MAY
APPEAR TOGETHER IN ANY COMBINATION, BUT <CREATE MAY NOT BE COMBINED
WITH ANY OF THE ABOVE SWITCHES.  ^REGARDLESS OF THE POSITION OF THE
<REMOVE, <ADD, AND <MODIFY SWITCHES, <PATH WILL ALWAYS PROCESS
THEM IN THE ORDER GIVEN ABOVE.  <PATH DOES NOT SET THE SEARCH LIST
ONCE FOR EACH SWITCH.  ^INSTEAD, IT STARTS WITH THE SEARCH LIST
AT THE TIME THE PROGRAM WAS RUN, REMOVES THE STRUCTURES SPECIFIED
BY THE <REMOVE SWITCHES, ADDS THE STRUCTURES SPECIFIED BY THE
<ADD SWITCHES, AND FINALLY MODIFIES ANY STRUCTURES SPECIFIED BY THE
<MODIFY SWITCHES.  ^THIS MEANS THAT THE <ADD SWITCHES MAY
ADD STRUCTURES ADDED BY THE <REMOVE SWITCHES AND THE <MODIFY
SWITCHES MAY NOT FIND A STRUCTURE REMOVED WITH <REMOVE.
^THE ARGUMENT TO THE SEARCH LIST SWITCHES IS AN ORDERED LIST OF
ELEMENTS WHICH REPRESENT THE STRUCTURES ON WHICH TO ACT.
^IF MORE THAT ONE ELEMENT IS SPECIFIED, THEY MUST
BE ENCLOSED IN PARENTHESIS AND SEPARATED BY COMMAS.  ^EACH ELEMENT
HAS THE FORM:
.B1
	NAME:MODIFIER:MODIFIER...
.B1
WHERE NAME IS THE NAME OF A STRUCTURE (E.G., <DSKB), AN ABBREVIATION
FOR A STRUCTURE NAME (E.G., <DS), OR AN ASTERISK (*).  <PATH INTERPRETS
AN ASTERISK TO MEAN THE SEARCH LIST AT THE TIME THE PROGRAM
WAS RUN MINUS ANY STRUCTURES FROM THE CURRENT SEARCH LIST THAT
WERE EXPLICITLY GIVEN IN THE SWITCH.  ^THE STRUCTURE MODIFIERS MAY
BE ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING:
.LM 12
.TS 12
.P -12
<WRITE	^WRITE ENABLE THE SPECIFIED STRUCTURE
.P -12

WHERE "NAME" IS THE NAME OF A LOGICAL PATH NAME AND EACH "DEV:FILE.EXT[PATH]"
ARE THE COMPONENTS OF THAT LOGICAL NAME.  ^IF THE DEVICE OF A
LOGICAL PATH NAME COMPONENT HAS AN IMPLIED <PPN OR IS ITSELF
A LOGICAL NAME, <PATH WILL IGNORE ANY DIRECTORY
SPECIFIED BY THE USER AND SUBSTITUTE THE IMPLIED PPN OR THE
BODY OF THE LOGICAL PATH NAME IN ITS PLACE.  ^IN THE LATTER CASE, ANY
FILENAME OR EXTENSION SPECIFIED IN THE COMPONENT BEING DEFINED ARE
OVERWRITTEN BY THE FILENAME OR EXTENSION FROM THE SUBSTITUTED
BODY OF THE LOGICAL PATH NAME.  ^THE FILENAME OR EXTENSION ARE NOT
OVERWRITTEN IF THERE IS NO CORRESPONDING FIELD IN THE SUBSTITUTED BODY
OR IF THE /<OVERRIDE SWITCH WAS SPECIFIED IN THE DEFINITION OF THE
LOGICAL PATH NAME BEING SUBSTITUTED.
.S 1
^IF THE COMPONENT OF A  LOGICAL  PATH  NAME  IS  DEFINED  USING  "[,]",
"[,PN]",  OR  "[P,]",  <PATH  DOES NOT SUBSTITUTE THE CURRENT LOGIN <PPN
WHEN DEFINING THE LOGICAL PATH NAME.  ^INSTEAD, THE  MONITOR  DOES  THE
SUBSTITUTION  AT  THE  TIME  OF  THE USE OF THE LOGICAL PATH NAME.  ^IN
GENERAL, THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM, UNLESS THE USER'S <PPN CHANGES  BETWEEN
THE  DEFINITION  OF  THE  LOGICAL  PATH  NAME  AND  THE USE OF IT.  ^TO
INDICATE THAT A LOGICAL PATH NAME WAS DEFINED  IN  THIS  MANNER,  <PATH
WILL LIST THE PATH OF EACH COMPONENT OF A LOGICAL PATH NAME IN EXACTLY
THE SAME WAY THAT IT WAS DEFINED.

^IF NO COMPONENTS ARE
SPECIFIED TO THE RIGHT OF THE EQUAL SIGN, THE DEFINITION OF THE
