Run the following to see your PATH settings in easy to read format on screen:

tr ":" "\n" <<<"$PATH" 
tr ":" "\n" <<<"$PATH"  | lolcat

This is a little more portable
echo "$PATH" | tr ":" "\n" 
echo "$PATH" | tr ":" "\n" | lolcat

Nice tr command, thanks!

But you might want to remove the extra 'o' from 'lolocat'. (Debian, at least, doesn't have a lolocat; I haven't tried installing lolcat because I don't know what it does and it has a bunch of ruby dependencies.)
