In ~/.bash_profile, add something like:

PATH=$PATH:/home/ShellScripts/

export PATH

But I think the default setup is:
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin

This lets you create a bin directory in your home directory to put
your scripts in. Usually, local scripts that you want all users to
be able to access are put in /usr/local/bin. A world writable
directory on your path is not a good idea...
