        !            12: by walking environment search strings.  By default, WHERE will attempt to find
        !            13: the specified files by walking the PATH environment string.  If a pattern is of
        !            14: the following form:
        !            15:

        !            18: then WHERE will walk the specified environment name attempting to find the

        !            25: The filename part of the pattern may contain wildcards * and ? in the style
