ASearchPath contains one or more paths examined in the method, and can contain multiple path names separated by the value in -PathSeparator. Each delimited path value in ASearchPath is resolved +PathSeparator. Each delimited path value in ASearchPath is resolved by calling the ResolveDots function, and processed in the method.
