Are you sure?
Nope. Just speculating. I only added paths to my own account's
profile (because if I moved my home directory to a clean install of
the system I don't have to reconfigure things, where I do if I've
changed things in the profile that affects all accounts). And I
didn't bother to try it on the system wide account. Maybe it won't do
the trick. It's just where one would make that change to affect the
shell in all accounts, but then AppleSript may use something
different to determine its environment settings.
There is this plist file that seems to override the UNIX classics
except when running Terminal or a BBEdit worksheet..
$HOME/.MacOSX/environment.plist
which seems to accomplish the task though. There is an app note about it.

Of Google entry <"environment plist" site:apple.com>
But that doesn't exist unless you create it. It's not on your system
by default. That would make me wonder where AppleScript got the shell
environment settings if it doesn't use the system-wide ones (which
was just an educated first guess), or doesn't user my specific user
ones (which it doesn't).
