I have tried PATH=$PATH:/home/ra..... I have tried PATH=<exsisting path>+:/home/ra...... they both work...temporarily. I want the PATH variable to STAY when I change it. Every time I reboot, it reverts back to the original PATH. Do I have to go into the file where it is located? Do I need a different syntax?
