start : Run : sysdm.cpl

Advanced Tab : Down at the bottom use Environment Variables button

The "Environment Variables" pane opens.

Double-clicking a line in the lower pane, such as "Path", brings up
a dialog for entering multi-string. Click "OK" when your edits are done.

Doing it this way, saves the changes for the next session.

*******

Making environment changes from the command line, is of limited duration,
and is unlikely to be inherited, without a lot of care.

   set

Using the "set" command, should dump the env for you.
