expressed in *.dt files. Refer to dtsearchpath(1),
dtaction(1), dtactionfile(4), and dtdtsfile(4) for more
information.

to create the DTAPPSEARCHPATH environment variable. It is
the primary environment variable and drives the remaining
search paths for filetypes and actions, for desktop icons,
and for help files. Refer to dtappgather(1) and
dtsearchpath(1) for more information.
