It depends on your shell. If you are not sure of your shell type "echo
$SHELL" in terminal. If you are using tcsh you can create a .cshrc
file in your home directory and type the commands to set the path. If
you are using bash you need to create a .bashrc instead. If you are
using OSX 10.3 the default shell is bash. In xterm or terminal you can
use pico to create the files. If you are not in your home directory
type "cd ~"
then "pico .bashrc" (or .cshrc). You can use textedit if you don't know
how to use pico. If you have access to your old home directory you can
copy the files to your new home directory. You can always type the
absolute path to a command eg. /bin/pwd

Well, now I'm faced with a new problem. I figured out that from some
of the apps in X11, the commands will not run. This is because the
path on my new account, same box - just a new account, did not include
the locations of the command executables. Not a problem right?
set path=(.....)
I'm obviously a novice, because when I do that the path only remains
for the current session. Quit the x server and login again, path is
back to the default. I imagine there is a configure file of some kind
but I don't know where to look. Could I get some help on setting the
path and keeping it set for more than a single session?
Thanks again you've all been very helpful,
