"echo $PATH" was not intended as an Octave command.  Type it at a
shell prompt.

PATH is not an Octave variable or function, but path is.  The function
path provides a Matlab compatible way to set Octave's LOADPATH
variable.

LOADPATH and EXEC_PATH are documented in the Octave manual, much of
which is also available at the Octave prompt.  Try

  help LOADPATH
  help EXEC_PATH
