External Command Variable Substitution
A variable, such as the value returned by GetPath, can be used inside any quoted string within an executed external command. The variable is global. It goes out of scope only when the command processor is replaced by a different one. The variable can be dereferenced explicitly by an expression %{<var name>} within another string.
