I'm no REXX-guru, but I do know one thing (which isn't REXX-related anyway),
and that is that LIBPATH is impossible to change with less than a change to
CONFIG.SYS followed by an IPL. The best you could do is probably to put some
"generic" entries in LIBPATH (e.g. ../DLL;/DLL;./DLL; ...), and make sure
these are valid on all drives. Agreed, this is not at all as flexible as it
would be to be able to update LIBPATH dynamically.
As for changing PATH and DPATH, couldn't you try
  'PATH x:/mydir/bin;%PATH%'
(doesn't ' ' address the command processor, CMD.EXE?)
