[fpc-pascal] setting path variable

[andrew mejia]

Jonas,

thanks for taking the time to explain this...  i 
didn't see any documentation regarding it.

i am an old user of Turbo Pascal, way back in 1993/4.

also, i am actually more familiar and comfortable with
unix / linux commandline, but am learning DOS...

thanks for your help!
