I've made an executable shell script in my HOME directory on the remote 
machine(s) called:  do
which contains:

PATH=/u/michaelp/bin:/usr/local:/usr/ens/bin:/usr/tek:/usr/ucb:/bin:/usr/bin
exec $@

Then you can type:
rsh silicon do echo '$PATH'

to check the PATH, or something more useful like:
rsh silicon do some-command-in-a-non-standard-path


It works for me!
