[Visualpython-users] pythonpath question- how to set it

[Laney M. <mi...@co...>]

I need to add to the search path with the IDLE uses so that I can run 
some py programs from a directory of mine.  I can find a display of the 
search path under "file, path browser" but I cannot find in the 
documentation anywhere how one can add to this list.  Searching the doc 
files I easily find a reference to environment variables, but I cannot 
find any descriptin that I can actually understand how one actually sets 
environment variables.  I am supposing that setting or adding to the 
*.py search path is what the term "environment vars" is referring to.

thanks
