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.
