Bourne shell.
OK, bash in this case, sh if your change it to
<write>PATH=${PATH}:${HOME}/bin; export PATH</write>
${foo} is the same as $foo and is used to make the name of the
variable unambiguos - ${foo}bar instead of $foobar.

${parameter}
The value of parameter is substituted. The braces
are required when parameter is a positional parame-
ter with more than one digit, or when parameter is
followed by a character which is not to be inter-
preted as part of its name.
