This doesn't deserve to be an answer, but I made this gist: gist.github.com/examinedliving/6251286 that splits the output of the path variable (or any other environmental variable) into seperate lines for easy viewing from the command line. Makes it much easier to see what needs to be edited.

You need to define "convenient". The dialog works fine for adding to the PATH (just append it); adding other envars; and deleting envars. In your case, you could copy the string to Notepad or Notepad++, edit it, and then paste it back. Its as simple and convenient as <kbd>CTRL</kbd> + <kbd>C</kbd> and <kbd>CTRL</kbd> + <kbd>V</kbd> (that's what I do).
