Hi Mike.  If I can find some time this week, I'm tempted to give this a try
but I don't quite understand how it would work.  Are you saying that an
absolute path in .bash_profile will somehow override the other paths?  Or
that it will somehow prevent the various other scripts from adding their own
entries?  Or will I still have to track down all those other files and edit
them anyway?
