After installing Pathway, when you launch the Language Explorer, you will find Pathway on the File menu in the Export… dialog if you are using version 7.x or later on Tools menu in the Utilities dialog if you are using Language Explorer 6.0.5. It will be listed as data, “Dictionary, Reversal Index”, and Format “Pathway …” Before you use Pathway, in FieldWorks on the Tools menu select Configure, and Configure Dictionary (and/or Configure Reversal) to make sure you have selected the fields you want and put them in the order you want.
