Hi Steve,
You have to edit a file called ".tcshrc" which resides in your users
home directory, and add ":/usr/local/mysql/bin" to the PATH
environment variable.
The tricky part is, this file is not visible to any text editor (for
example BBEdit), so I always use a command line editor, for example
(start terminal):
vi .tcshrc
Then use the down arrow key to search through the file to see if you
find a line that begins with "setenv PATH".
If not, add the line:
setenv PATH "${PATH}:/usr/local/mysql/bin"
Otherwise add ":/usr/local/mysql/bin" to the end, for example:
setenv PATH ".:${PATH}:$HOME/bin:/usr/local/mysql/bin"
To insert in "vi" press i. When you are done inserting press ESC.
To delete a character enter "x".
To quit and save, enter ":x".
To abort changes, enter ":q!".
