Hi, This is going to sound like a silly question, but after looking in every HOWTO I could think of and even on the net, I still can't find the answer to what must be a very trivial question. How do I add a directory to the PATH? I want to add a directory that contains all sorts of scripts I use regularly. I tried: PATH=$PATH:/data1/perl; export PATH but that only adds the directory to the terminal session I'm in - I want this **always** added to the path when I boot.
