Hello. I recently started playing around with Eshell. There is some
cool things about it, but the documentation seems a bit sparse. My
question: For non-builtin commands, how does Eshell know where to look
for commands? (More broadly worded: how does it set up the PATH and the
rest of the environement?) Also, when you switch to a directory on a
remote system (which eshell does via tramp) can you have the PATH
update somehow to allow use of commands on the remote system?

Eshell does nothing special with remote systems, it lets Tramp do the
job. So you might tweak `tramp-remote-path'.
Best regards, Michael.
