I believe bash does not need one. My guess is that it does a "rehash"
when you type a command it does not already know about. I just did a
quick experiment by creating a new executable and bash found it.

Unfortunately there's no rehash for bash,

In old csh (or tcsh), there is a "rehash" built in that causes csh to
go out and rehash the PATH. I'm not sure if that is still the way
csh works.
Opening a new terminal, doing "rehash", or executing $SHELL will get
around that particular problem.

Your PATH and permissions look OK.
Try opening a new terminal window--sometimes you need to do that to
make an application show up in the PATH.

Hmm... not being able to cd into /sw/bin seems odd to me.
Run the following two commands:
printenv PATH
ls -l /sw
The first will show whether your environment is set up correctly,
and the second will reveal the permissions on /sw/bin.

I downloaded gnucash (and gnome, apparently) using fink commander
but when I type 'gnucash' into either the terminal or X11 window
I get a 'command not found' response.
When I try to cd over to the sw/bin file in terminal I get a
'permission denied' response.
The files are in sw/bin so I know they're in there but how do I
get X11 to recognize the gnucash file? Where did I go wrong?
