It depend on the shell you are using. I'll assume you're using bash.
Log in as your usual userid (please don't say this is root!)
cd ~
vi .bashrc
See that line that says PATH=
Add stuff onto the end of it - seperate paths with colons
Save the file and logout
Log back in again
set
You should see a list of all of your shell variable scroll up the screen. Check
the value for 'path'. It should have all of you're changes reflected in it.
(Substitute your favourite editor for 'vi' if you like....)
