Using the 'tr' (translate) command in a function can yield some handy "shortcuts": path () { echo $PATH | tr ':' '\n' } manpath () { echo $MANPATH | tr ':' '\n' } These functions will spit out the elements of a PATH, one per line. You can add these functions in your .profile or some other "rc" file, or use the nifty autoload feature of the ksh.

print - ${PATH//:/\\n}
