Not exactly. However, you can use setq-local or eshell/addpath:
(defun shell1 ()
(interactive)
(let ((current-prefix-arg 4))
(call-interactively 'shell)
(setq-local exec-path (cons "C:/foo" exec-path))
;; or ...
(eshell/addpath "-b" "C:/foo")))
That's probably the best way to do it for now. I think it's probably
reasonable for Eshell to work correctly when you've let-bound
'exec-path' like in your examples, but I'll have to think about the best
way to do it.

Dear Jim,
It works, thanks.
However, this seems to be a global setting only. Is there any equivalent of
with-environment-variables for exec-path?
For example, with regular shell, I can do something like:
```
(defun shell1 ()
(interactive)
(let ((explicit-shell-file-name "cmdproxy")
(current-prefix-arg 4))
(with-environment-variables (("PATH" (concat "C:/env1" path-separator
(getenv "PATH"))))
(call-interactively 'shell))
))
(defun shell2 ()
(interactive)
(let ((explicit-shell-file-name "cmdproxy")
(current-prefix-arg 4))
(with-environment-variables (("PATH" (concat "C:/env2" path-separator
(getenv "PATH"))))
(call-interactively 'shell))
))
```
to create two *shell* buffers with different PATH "C:/env1" and "C:/env2".
How to do the same thing in eshell?
I have tried with the following code but it doesn't work as expected.
```
(defun eshell1()
(interactive)
(let ((exec-path (cons "C:/env1" (copy-sequence exec-path)))
(current-prefix-arg "new"))
(call-interactively 'eshell)))
```
```
(defun eshell2()
(interactive)
(let ((exec-path (cons "C:/env2" (copy-sequence exec-path)))
(current-prefix-arg "new"))
(call-interactively 'eshell)))
```
M-x eshell1 and echo $PATH
M-x eshell2 and echo $PATH
The result is that the eshell1 buffer can show C:/env1, but eshell2 can not=
.
Thanks.
Best regards,
Siyuan Chen

In the *eshell* window, type `echo $PATH`, but the path "C:/env" > doesn't show in the result. Thanks for the bug report. This is an intentionally-incompatible change in Eshell to improve behavior with remote systems via Tramp. Here's the relevant section from the Emacs 29 NEWS: > *** Eshell's PATH is now derived from 'exec-path'. > For consistency with remote connections, Eshell now uses 'exec-path' > to determine the execution path on the local or remote system, instead > of using the PATH environment variable directly. So instead, you want to do something like '(push "C:/env" exec-path)' in order to update the PATH in a way where Eshell sees it.

Reproduce steps:
1. Emacs -Q
2. M-x eval-expression `(setenv "PATH" (concat "C:/env" path-separator
(getenv "PATH")))`
3. M-x eshell
4. In the *eshell* window, type `echo $PATH`, but the path "C:/env" doesn't
show in the result.
P.S. I have also tried `eshell-set-path` and `with-environment-variables`,
but they cannot set PATH as well. For example,
(require 'eshell)
(defun eshell2()
(interactive)
(eshell-set-path '("C:/env"))
(call-interactively 'eshell))
(defun eshell3()
(interactive)
(with-environment-variables (("PATH" (concat "C:/env" path-separator
(getenv "PATH"))))
(call-interactively 'eshell)))
