just a reminder for anyone: if a directory is not already in $PATH then it's annoying to change $PATH; older shell sessions won't be updated automatically with the new $PATH, at least. Makes it a little harder to give the user advice on what to do, in the cases in which we have to resort to merely giving advice. -Isaac
