I've created an AVG path and assigned an operator to it. He is moving back and forth along the path, but walking backwards on the way back. How do I set it so he turns and walks forwards along the same path?
The standard practice for creating and connecting AGV paths is to make a big loop throughout the model. You can take a look at the AGV tutorial in the User Manual to see what I mean. Completing all the lessons in the AGV tutorial will even show when you can use two-way paths effectively. Most of the time, AGVs will travel forward along the connected one-way paths when travelling around the loop.
My suggestion would be to create a similar loop for the Operator to travel on so it is always walking forward along a one-way path. You can also create two small loops of one-way paths on both sides of a two-way path so that as soon as the Operator leaves the two-way path, they are forced to travel along the one-way paths before getting back onto the two-way path - forcing them to always be facing forward while travelling.
Otherwise, you might want to look into a network node path or using the AStar objects, as they are better suited for always keeping a Task Executer facing forward without having to create extra paths.
