Adding bin tools

[007quick]

Hello, I ran a shell script that placed some files in usr/local/arm-elf/bin and I am supposed to add that "Path" I succesfully did it in a terminal using the
export PATH:..........:$PATH command but then I have to do that every time I open a terminal, according to the research that I have done I have to add a line to the /home/(usr)/.bash_profile file but I can't seem to get it to work.
Here is the .bash_profile if it is any good! The underlined portion being what I added! The dir that I need to add is usr/local/arm-elf/bin/
ANy help would be great!
# .bash_profile

# Initialize keychain if needed
if [ -r $HOME/.ssh/identity -o -r $HOME/.ssh/id_dsa -o -r $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa ]; then
if [ ! -d $HOME/.keychain ]; then
keychain
fi
fi

# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi

# User specific environment and startup programs

#!/bin/bash
PATH=/usr/local/arm-elf/bin:$PATH
export PATH

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin

export PATH
unset USERNAME

Ok i figure it out I just had to put the $Path at the start instead of at the end!
Thanks for the help that I know that I would have got!
