Is this description correct?:
PATH prefix
This field contains a list of paths to external programs. When LyX
needs to use an external program, it looks in this list where to find
it on the system. The path list is automatically set up on Windows
systems while LyX is configured, so that you normally don't have to
modify it. On Unix/Linux and Mac systems the PATH-prefix might be
empty because it is not needed on theses systems.
I'm asking because I don't know how it is on Linux and Mac.
PATH prefix *is* needed on Mac, but like Windows it is automatically
set up so that (normally) no modification is needed.
On Linux, I would say something like the following: On *nix systems, the
PATH will need to be set only if there are external programs you wish to
use that are not in your normal system path ($PATH).
