Say you have a live and test websites (either by HOST=test.domain.com or PATH=C:\Sites\Test\Domain\public_html). The live site will have no errors displayed. The test site will have them displayed (maybe). For CLI having C:\Scripts\Live and C:\Scripts\Test is useful as this will provide the same functionality as non CLI. So, if you can please allow PATH= for CLI (rather than just assume it is of no use and ignoring it). I can't think of how I would use HOST= in CLI, unless maybe you could get the machine's name (stretching for an idea here). Thank you.
