setup PATH variable by PATH=%PATH:/usr/X11R6/bin

[PoWah Wong]

I want to setup my PATH variable by following the
instructions of "Chapter 4. Using Cygwin/X, section
startx" at http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ug/using.html.

After doing
PATH=%PATH:/usr/X11R6/bin
my original path is lost.

I use windows XP SP2.

Log is:

PoWah@powahco-pr ~
$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32:/cygdri
