Yes, this is a bit confusing. :-( Bash tries to be extra-flexible to allow all different kinds of scenarios. Check out http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=running#adding-ompi-to-path -- we talk about the different shells and what files to edit (most of that information is a subset of what is available in the bash(1) man page). Hope that helps clarify things a bit.
