John,

PATH is a variable that QShell uses to locate programs. It is similar to the *LIBL that we are familiar with, except for a few details:

1) It is a list of IFS directories separated by colons.

2) There is no error if an invalid directory is in the PATH variable (EDTLIBL/CHGLIBL would give an error about a bad library)

3) it is only used to find program objects to run (not used for files, etc, like *LIBL is).

That line of the script adds the /usr/local/bin directory to the end of the PATH. ($PATH inserts the existing value of PATH, then we add a colon, and the /usr/local/bin directory to the end). That means that this /usr/local/bin directory will now be included in the search for program names (only until the QSH command ends.)
