Here is a shell script I wrote to list all commands in the PATH:
=========== snip ============
#!/bin/sh

# list all commands: list all executable commands in the current PATH.

myPATH="$(echo $PATH | sed -e 's/ /~~/g' -e 's/:/ /g')"
count=0; cmdlist="";

for dirname in $myPATH ;  do
  directory="$(echo $dirname | sed 's/~~/ /g')"
  if [ -d "$directory" ] ; then
    for command in $(ls "$directory") ; do
      if [ -x "$directory/$command" ] ; then
        count="$(( $count + 1 ))"
        cmdlist="$cmdlist $command"
      fi
    done
  fi
done

#echo "$count commands:"
for cmd in $cmdlist ; do
  echo $cmd
done
