PATH

[Linda Hanigan]

Hi,
  Is there a good source to learn how PATH works with ubuntu. I have the
following line in .bash_profile
PATH=/home/general/cprog:/usr/local/lbin/General:/usr/local/lbin/Awning:/usr/local/lbin/Tent:/usr/tmp:"$PATH"
Yet if I have ran a program as /usr/local/lbin/Tent/Program1 and then
make changes to the program as /home/general/cprog/Program1 recompile
and test it just saying Program1 it runs the program
in /usr/local/lbin/Tent not the program in /home/general/cprog even
though it is listed first in Path. Granted I can insure the right one
runs by typing the complete path but it is a pain.
                                 Thanks
                                  Linda
