Here is a shell script I wrote to list all commands in the PATH:
=========== snip ============
#!/bin/sh

# list all commands: list all executable commands in the current PATH.

myPATH="$(echo $PATH | sed -e 's/ /~~/g' -e 's/:/ /g')"
count=0; cmdlist="";

for dirname in $myPATH ;  do
   directory="$(echo $dirname | sed 's/~~/ /g')"
   if [ -d "$directory" ] ; then
     for command in $(ls "$directory") ; do
       if [ -x "$directory/$command" ] ; then
         count="$(( $count + 1 ))"
         cmdlist="$cmdlist $command"
       fi
     done
   fi
done

#echo "$count commands:"
for cmd in $cmdlist ; do
   echo $cmd
done
=========== snip ============
