In case there's some confusion, you probably want forward slashes like:
export PATH=$PATH:/var/home/etc
Another note, /var/home/etc seems like a strange place to put executables. /etc is where config files reside.

Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about industry standards and associated tags.
OPTIONS

colour, programme, speciality, travelled, and so on, this option causes spell to insist upon the use of the infix -ise in words like stan-

fies history_list as the alternate history list that is used to accumulate all output. The default is /usr/lbin/spell/spellhist. [Tru64
UNIX] Suppresses processing of included files through the and troff macros. If the -i and -l options are both specified, the last one of
the two options entered on the command line takes effect. [Tru64 UNIX] Follows the chain of all included files (.so and
