Editing $PATH question

[ezeke1]

Hi All,
I'm new to linux and I would like to run some programs globally from any user account. I thought this can be done if we add the directory path to the PATH and this does seem to work. However, each time I log off, the PATH seems to return to it's default value.

Does anyone know how I can make the changes to permanently?

Thanks

Disregard this question. I realized the directory path I added to my bash_profile was incorrect.
