I need to alter this path after emacs has started. For example, I need to run a particular version of arm-eabi-gdb or scons. These executables are not in the usual places as they are custom per project. I would like to be able to alter my path after emacs has started so that I can use 'M-x gdb' and just type arm-eabi-gdb to invoke it. Is this possible? Thanks, Rob
