      Suspends, in turn, the paths supplied as args to getpaths(),
  then all paths in the PATH environment variable. It will append
  the system defined path trailer character if required. A typical
  invocation might look like:

     open(getpaths("/usr/local/lib/icon/procs") || filename)

     or like

     open(getpaths("/usr/local/lib/icon/procs/") || filename)

  Note that getpaths() will be resumed in the above context until
  open succeeds in finding an existing, readable file.  Getpaths()
  can take any number of arguments.
