 Previous: PATH
Very often it will be necessary to add new directories into PATH.
The command for setting or changing the environment variable is setenv.
To add, for example,  user's cs241/a1 directory to the PATH,  type:
setenv PATH $HOME/cs241/a1:$PATH
This will add cs241/a1 directory to the beginning, which means that 
the cs241/a1 directory will be searched by shell first. 
Similarly one can add a directory to the end of the list. 
Note, that HOME is another environment variable, which defines user's home directory.
