That is correct.
Caveats: 1) Your script must run (either directly or indirectly) from
your GUI login environment (normally it will); 2) after you change
environment.plist you need to log out and then log in again for the
changes to take effect; 3) If you run a shell that invokes it's .rc or
.profile to override the PATH environment variable, you should take
appropriate steps.

Paul,
Can you clarify that path? Do you mean save this to...
~/.MacOSX/environment.plist
Thanks,
