I am not sure this is even what I am looking for, but I think $PATH is where your command links are stored? I want to add a command so that I do not have to type the full path to the command I am searching for. Like the "ls" command for example. Is $PATH where this is stored and how do I add my the commands I want?

I understand the information is available and I have searched, but with my limited knowledge of linux I am having a hard time searching for the information so any help, even if its just pointing me in the right direction to seach for it myself would be much appreciated.

Here is a posting that explains what you are looking for.

Thank you very much for the link. It didn't really make much sense but it I was able to look into Environmental Variables and find exactly what I needed to know. Thank you again.

Is good to learn and mess with system variables, but something that I like doing is copying the program executable to a location already in the $PATH variable like "/usr/local/bin".
