+### list_path
+
+List directories in your `PATH` variable:
+
+```
+> list_path
+- C:\Program Files\Haskell\bin
++ C:\Program Files\Haskell Platform\8.0.1\lib\extralibs\bin
++ C:\Program Files\Haskell Platform\8.0.1\bin
++ C:\Users\Egor\AppData\Roaming\local\bin
+- C:\Users\Egor\AppData\Roaming\cabal\bin
+...
+```
+
+Lines starting with `+` denote existing directories.
+Conversly, lines starting with `-` denote missing directories.
+
+### add_path
+
+Add "C:\test" to current user's `PATH`:
+
+```
+> add_path C:\test
+Saving variable 'PATH' to 'HKCU\Environment'...
+ Old value: C:\Users\Egor\AppData\Roaming\local\bin;C:\Users\Egor\AppData\Roaming\cabal\bin
+ New value: C:\Users\Egor\AppData\Roaming\local\bin;C:\Users\Egor\AppData\Roaming\cabal\bin;C:\test
+Continue? (y/n) y
+
+>
+```
+
+### remove_path
+
+Remove "C:\test" from both current user's and global `PATH`s, skipping the
+confirmation prompt:
+
+```
+> remove_path --global -y C:\test
+```
+
+### set_env
+
+To assign `bar` to the variable `foo` for all users:
+
+```
+> set_env -g foo bar
+Saving variable 'foo' to 'HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment'...
