This depends on your shell. Some require the use of the command

	rehash

csh and bash I think are guilty of this. The real shell /bin/sh is fine
and will pick it up itself.

           rehash  Causes the internal hash table of the contents of the
                   directories in the path variable to be recomputed.  This is
                   needed if new commands are added to directories in the path
                   while you are logged in.  This should only be necessary if
                   you add commands to one of your own directories, or if a
                   systems programmer changes the contents of a system direc-
                   tory.
