Hi, Roy,
You can set a symbolic link to the program in a directory which is in
your path. The /bin directory is most likely in your path. If you want
to start a program called /home/roy/progs/application from anywhere, do
ln -s /home/roy/progs/application /bin/application
This will set up a file /bin/application which is linked to the
program. Then whenever you type 'application', it'll execute the
program. Good luck,
Hidong
