... For security and portability reasons, do shell script ignores the
configuration files that an interactive shell would read, so you don't get the
customizations you would have in Terminal.
I haven't tried it, but presumably you could string the environment command
in your do shell script:
do shell script "PATH=/blah:/blah/blah:$PATH;command"
(using whatever syntax is appropriate for whatever shell 'do shell script'
uses nowadays).
