I created a directory called `bin' in my Home directory (if you share your
Mac name it .bin to keep it out the way):

`bash2.05 phil@localhost ~ $ mkdir bin'

And I keep all my shell scripts and the like in there. You can, of course,
create it in any other directory:

bash2.05 phil@localhost ~ $ cd /Users/foo/bar
$ mkdir bin

It's generally considered unwise to add `bin' to your path for a whole lot
of reasons (security, mostly), so to use the scripts `cd' to the appropriate
directory and execute them thus:

bash2.05 phil@localhost ~ $ ./fooscript

You'll also have to set the executable bit: `chmod 755 fooscript' in order
for them to run.

Regards,

Phil.
