 To see what your current PATH is:

echo $PATH

To add to the PATH for the current session:

export PATH="/additional/path:$PATH" (I think; make sure that's right--
ok, it is right, but maybe without the quotes according to man export).

What I usually do (because I often can't quite remember the correct
syntax of an "append to export" comand) is:

echo $PATH or export (without parameters), then copy the current PATH to
a text file, so if I mess it up I can export PATH="(the original PATH)".

Of course I could just read man export like a reasonable person, but who
has time for that ;-) ?

Hope this helps,
Holly
