In the heat of the moment, I thought of PATH as something one changes by
editing configuration files, but yeah, you can simply type in a new one.
Good to remember.

I also didn't realize that some commands are built into the shell, so some
things remain possible even if bin isn't reachable.

I know it's not the Unix Way, but an 'undo' button would be nice for these
situations.
