Well, the ultimate source for that user. What I want is for it to 
respect the path as set by /etc/profile for all users, or better yet, 
just find out where the Ur-path comes from, so that I can include Ruby 
on the path for every shell ever created anywhere on the system 
(interactively or not) by anything except when specifically excluded.

Particularly when I'm working on my server, I frequently need to switch 
back and forth between my "regular" account, my "administrator" 
accounts (local and domain), and the super-user account, and having all 
my handy scripts, aliases, and whatnot vanish between them is 
inconvenient. :/

Hmm. If there were a way to "include" my home account's 
environment.plist in
/etc/profile . . . yikes.

But this is now way off topic, so I guess I'll go fiddle with RDoc some 
more. :)
