OK, yes, that makes sense. Thanks. Note though, then that '/usr/local/mysql/bin' path is redundant; it was already there (the preceding path). I also discovered from researching the '/etc/paths.d' dir... where one can store files named after commands one wants to run, whose contents is the paths to those commands. I am now able to run "mysqldump" or "mysql" directly. Thanks to everyone who replied!
