    Note  The format of pathnames—the use of colons, slashes, or backslashes—differs slightly on different platforms.

  3. Select the path directory you want to view or edit from the pull-down menu. You also can add a directory to a VI search path.
  4. Remove the checkmark from the Use Default checkbox to access the path preferences options.
  5. Enter a new path in the text box or click Browse to select a directory.
  6. Click the OK button.
