What I've always done is keep a little script around that
constructs the path from a more easily edited list. When
you're doing a lot of development against some sort of
application framework(s), your path tends to get kinda
nasty.
So you put a script in your home directory (or your
$HOME/bin.sh or wherever you like) called something like
GETPATH. It should look something like this:
#!/bin/sh
pathdirs='
$HOME/bin.sh
$HOME/bin
/usr/local/bin
/usr/bin
/usr/sbin
/bin
/sbin
/what/ever/you/want
'
set $pd
PATHSTR=$1
shift
for pd in "$@"; do
PATHSTR="$PATHSTR:$pd"
done
echo $PATHSTR
#end
You can then run that script from a little shell function or alias
or whatever. I just find it a lot easier to edit the vertical list
of directories than a big wad of colon-separated pathnames.

Your path environment is set in your *.profile located in each users
directory. just edit this file and somewhere you should see PATH=
just add to this whatever you want
