Luis,

Go to ftp://www.rtsi.com/OS9/OS9_6X09/APPS/ and download the file
cc3go_shell_parm.lzh . This contains a replacement for cc3go by Roger A. Krupski 
of RGB Computer Systems & Ken-Ton fame. This version of cc3go will permit you to 
use the above path= command.

In short, the new cc3go will use /dd/sys/shell.parameters (a new file) to permit 
a one line set of commands for shellplus. I just ran a test and it will do 
exactly what you want.
As a test, I used dEd to change Init in my OS9Boot file replacing SysGo with 
cc3go. I placed the cc3go from the .lzh archive in /dd. I created the following 
SYS/shell.parameters file:
I=/1 path=/d1/cmds /d2/cmds

After booting, I entered:
path=?
and got
/d1/cmds
/d2/cmds
