PATH Problem.

[yellowputty]

I've changed my PATH variable in Lion, and this has been done in both .profile and .bash_profile, so when I do echo $PATH the correct directory is listed. However, I cannot run any scripts from this directory without actually going into the folder.

My understanding is that if I had a script 'monkey' in say, /Users/Me/Animal, then by adding this PATH, I could run monkey from any place/folder.

So why can I not do this at the moment? What have I done wrong?

Thanks in advance!
