I have never seen this way of defining a path [ PATH=~/XX:"${PATH}" ]
I learned PATH="a path:a new path" everything inclosed in quotes. I
think (?) i tried your way yesterday and got strange results but I
deleted that test file so ....
I'm not saying (anymore) your way is wrong, just that I have never seen
it done that way before. I know the "" "" works and never looked into
it further.
