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?
