[Tutor] Making a script part of the terminal

[ralf at schoenian-online.de]

Hello Michael,
 
first you have to give your script an executable bit. Just type chmod +x
your_script.py
Furhtermore, your script has to be in a directory that is also part of your
search path. Type in echo $PATH to see how your path is set. You can either link
or copy your script to an approprate location.
 
Regards,
Ralf
