You can check .bash_profile and .bashrc I forget where it is by default 
since I set things a bit myself. I have a site wide NFS mounted 
filesystem with lots of stuff in that, so my path setting is somewhat 
complex. In order of priority, arch=$(uname -m):
   ${HOME}/bin/${arch}		user personal versions
   /usr/local/${arch}		machine local
   /opt/bin			machine local
   /common/bin/${arch}		site local
then the rest of what was set by default.

NOTE: my PATH *never* includes "." to prevent accidental running of 
something I never intended. The PATH setting is called from .bashrc, 
macros and aliases are only defined for interactive shells, not scripts.
