To the best of my knowledge, setting the PATH should work the same in Lion as in any prior OS X version; if you've changed shells along the way, that would be another matter. > I need to define a path in .profile (initially set up by Fink) to point > to a command line program called tab (it processes plain text to create > printed music) in /Applications/Tab4.3.
