Not sure what any given DOS command does....

Is it in some conf file somewhere? I tried rc.conf. Oh. That information, in UNIX, is stored on a per-process basis; it's in the environment variable named "PATH" (and csh and its derivatives copy a version of the information to th eshell "path" variable). I'd recommend a reading of _The UNIX Programming Environment_, by Kernighan and Pike.
