iMacDuo:~ heinz$ fink list -i scilab
Information about 6517 packages read in 1 seconds.
  i   scilab                           4.1.2-1003                
Software package for numerical computations

.. so it is a fink compiled SciLab version which has Scilab 4.1.2 in  
the top strip (and I added "on an Intel Mac" manually).

And I start it with /sw/bin/scilab & in an X-window.

Ha: when I do

export PATH=$PATH:/sw/bin

and start with

scilab &

everything works perfect.

How do I make my export PATH=$PATH:/sw/bin permanent?
