You want to set your PATH to include, in order, the directories in which you
want the system to search for the commands you enter on the command line.

Use the command ...

	echo $PATH

... to see what your current PATH is, then change your startup script to set
your PATH appropriately.  The name of your startup script varies, so see the
appropriate man page for your shell.
