I wanted $PATH to be:
/Library/mySQL/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin

It seems that Apple has changed the default shell from tcsh to bash as of Panther. Most users seem to be more familiar with tcsh.

bash uses the .bash_profile file in the ~ directory for path enhancement. So for me, the answer was:

echo 'export PATH=/Library/MySQL/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bash_profile

Others will need to alter the above path enhancement as necessary to accomplish their goal.

Thanks to all for your pointers. It took a village to get this simple thing done.  lol
