    Robert & Ernst-Magne,
    You're both right. I ugoa-x 'ed both .bashrc & .bash_profile then added
    something to the path, closed down konsole, reopened it and did echo
    $PATH and the change showed up. I have no idea why I needed to make the
    files +x before but the very same procedure didn't work, believe me. The
    world and debian work in mysterious ways.
    Cheers,
    Jonathan
