First of all, that is good news for me, I did not know about the path
variable.

Second, question: can one also set environment variables specific for
an app in the link, or must that then be a script (which is what I am
doing now, for example, to run Word and Excel with a Japanese input
method enabled, different from the one which I can use in my desktop
and WM).
