Which works, but I just now looked at .profile, and found that when I 
looked at my $PATH, AppImage was not being added. I had several months 
ago, created a $HOME/AppImages directory to store them in.

It worked well for that, but wasn't being added to my $PATH. Seem like it 
might be handy if it was. 

It was easier to add the missing 's' those two places in my .profile than 
it was to fix all the links that would need to be fixed as I have plural 
AppImages in that location now..

Now any bash shell that doesn't have the right $PATH seems to be fixable 
by a ". $HOME/.profile".

Those of you with multiple users might want to become root and fix the 
copy in /etc/skel so new users are also blessed. But you'll need to add 
the whole if/fi stanza to it. It was missing in my copy here. And I just 
checked a buster install, which didn't have it.

Was there a valid reason its not? Or is the idea too new?

Cheers, Gene Heskett
