For foreign commands, you can define them for all users in
SYS$MANAGER:SYLOGIN.COM This is a command file that gets executed at
login time for all users before the user's own login.com is executed.

You can also define them in you login.com if you need the commands only
for yourself.



DCL$PATH is a logical name. This could be defined systemwide during
system boot.   This can be done in SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM or SYLOGICALS.COM
(SYLOGICALS is executed before systartup_vms)


Or you can define the logical in login.com as a process logical.
