Sorry. But it's not the path.
This doesn't work also on a win98 system:

1|Picture=greta_08.jpg
2|identify.exe $Picture
3|PicWidth=`identify.exe $Picture; `
4|echo "Picture With: $PicWidth !"
5|echo "That's it."

Now identify.exe is available via PATH and the Picture is in my
home-dir.
Line 2 prints out on line with some information about the picture (name,
type, dimensions, etc.)
In line 3 identify.exe is executed. I can see it in the window-title.
However, the variable remains empty.

I can change the line to
3|PicWidth=`identify.exe -verbose $Picture `
Now a lot of information about the picture is printed via line 4.
