a) A better way is to advise how to find his PATH
b) The location of his diff is immaterial to telling how to set his
pointer to that very same. If his diff is in /usr/bin or /planet/mars it
should make no difference to any davice you wish to give him on how he
points emacs to it!

If you get my meaning :)
