Re: [newbie] What is Linux's Equivilant for 'PATH' (in DOS)?

[David van Balen]

There's a "path" environment variable. Typing echo $PATH or echo $path
should let you see it. You can add a path to it in your shell's rc file
found in your home directory or in the global one (found in /etc?) (i.e.
.cshrc for csh, .bashrc for bash... and so on).
