Hi,

I understand that in your .bash_profile, you set:
- export PATH=<something>

So this PATH should be defined for your whole session whatever terminal you 
use (environment variable are inherited by child processes)... unless your 
PATH is redefined by "something", perhaps your .bashrc?

Cheers,
Roger
