A seemingly simple question that I just can't seem to answer with Google:

How do I include a directory in my path? Like, if I wanted to include the java directory so that I just had to type javac <filename> instead of /usr/java/bin/javac <filename>, how would I do that?

On Unix:

Type printenv at the command line to see your current environment variables.

Type setenv variable value to set an environment variable.

Type unsetenv variable to unset an environment variable.

On Linux:

Type env at the command line to see your current environment variables.

Type env variable=value to set an environment variable.

Type env -u variable to unset an environment variable.

If only 20% of your staff is programmers, and you can save 50% on salary by outsourcing programmers to India, well, how much of a competitive advantage are you really going to get out of that 10% savings?
