Setting your PATH environment variable is the preferred way to specify command execution preferences. The directories listed there get "searched" in order looking for the command to run. IIRC, shell builtin commands get run before checking the PATH. Don't forget to "export" your PATH variable during or after setting it so that sub-shells can use the new value. And don't forget to look at what your system is currently using for a PATH as you don't want to break it with your changes.... -- Kevin J.
