with XTerm (:pull:`3193`)

run. The system-wide PATH is used first, then system specific default paths,
and finally the PATH inside the shell.

Finding executables
-----------------------
When you specify a command to run as just a name rather than an absolute path,
it is searched for in the system-wide ``PATH`` environment variable. Note that
this **may not** be the value of ``PATH`` inside a shell, as shell startup scripts
often change the value of this variable. If it is not found there, then a
system specific list of default paths is searched. If it is still not found,
then your shell is run and the value of ``PATH`` inside the shell is used.
