Updating search paths

Temporary search paths can be given on the [B/D] command line or via the PATH:  command. These are given as in the following examples. Firstly, for the UNIX  version,

bd p=bd/bdinputs/special/:bd/oldinputs

and secondly for the WINDOWS  version,

bd p=bd\bdinputs\special\;bd\oldinputs

These extra paths are temporarily (for the life of the session) added to the BDMACROS  variable, and are searched immediately after the current directory. If files are also given on the command line, the path is processed first. The PATH:  command can be used in a similar fashion.
