Are you saying that you put the PATH in .bash_profile like PATH="./scripts:$PATH" export PATH
And doing . . .bash_profile does not make it availible when it finishes? If that is so, please post the contents of your .bash_profile. If you are saying that it dosen't show up in another session, say vt2, that was open when you did the above, that is right. VT2 read the .bash_profile before you made the change, so in any terminal open, you will have to either log out and back in -or- do . .bash_profile in them so that they read the changes you made.
