I'm trying to port some programs to my UNIX-PC that were originally written to run on dumb terminals, and have a couple of questions. First, where does one adjust the PATH which the user agent uses to find executable files ? That is, I'd like to add /usr/local to this PATH, and then be able to type FOO and have it executed /usr/local/FOO, just as type `ls' executes that in a shell. Secondly, how can I get a task to start up in a large, borderless window (the sort of thing that looks like a regular terminal) without hacking and the code itself. I could explicitly open this sort of window and then run the task in it, but it would be nicer if this could be done by setting environmental variables in a shell script.
