Hi All,
I hate to sound like a rank newbie, but here goes. Where will I find the path environment variable?
Thanks,

Hi and welcome to PCLinuxOS forum!

The PATH is build up from several files, mostly in /etc/profile.d directory and from file /etc/profile ... possibly others.
If you need to simply add something to your env PATH, probably the best place is ~/.bashrc.

PATH=$PATH:/home/user/mypath

As far as "finding" it, open a terminal, and as regular user, enter:

echo $PATH

The output will show your user's search path.
