Hey, you're right. I wonder how the Windows PATH variable handles
that. Probably it just doesn't work...
Anyhow, the unix PATH variable uses ':' as the delimiter (at least
with the bash shell). So maybe '|' is better, even though you need
to use quotes when setting the environment variable to avoid it being
interpreted as a pipe. Is there any other character that's illegal
in a directory name, but doesn't require quotes to get it into an
environment variable?
By the way, I like the idea of the two variables. Were you thinking
of searching all subdirs in these directories, or just the subdirs
explicitly mentioned in the parts files like 48 and S? Or were you
expecting the additional directories to contain the P, PARTS, and
MODELS directories, or some subset of them?
